Strong sopohmore feature from actor/director Roshchy Zem. Has a certain feel that is reminiscient of director's Zem has acted for such as Bouchareb. Sami Bouajila is dynamite as Omar matched well by Denis Podalydes as the writer trying to find the truth behind Omar's conviction. Well paced but perhaps lacks that certain something that keeps one truly involved. Well worth catching for performance alone.
