選擇離開，卻只看得見往回走的路。一九九九年，阿爾及利亞政府為結束內戰，宣告了「公民協議」，讓反抗軍能夠繳械歸鄉，獲得赦免。從深山「悔悟」叛逃的拉席，回到闊別多年的家鄉，並向警局投案，卻仍無法得到安穩的生活。鄉裡的村民對於游擊隊的暴行無法原諒，警方則試圖從他身上套出其他的黨羽，唯一的生存之道只有逃往國外，而他僅能想到的籌錢方法，竟然是去揭開一道癒合不了的傷痕。

編導將焦點放在一個年輕、衝動、只想擺脫過往的悔悟者身上，專注地用鏡頭追蹤著他的掙扎，以及被宿命無情拉向回頭路的歷程。冷靜的鋪陳當中，帶著高度的懸疑性，當剝洋蔥般一層一層探觸內在的秘密時，更有著扎人的刺痛感。創作者的風格氣味與寬容悲憫，頗得達頓兄弟的神采。

A hauntingly powerful tale of a reformed Algerian fundamentalist attempting to reintegrate into society only to find some secrets impossible to hide.

Algerian director Merzak Allouache delves deep into his country’s tortured soul with this powerful look at the lingering effects of extremism and civil conflict. During the 1990s, Algeria suffered a civil war between the government and Islamic fundamentalists that left tens of thousands of people dead. As part of a deal to end the violence, the Algerian government offered amnesty to any jihadists who would come down from their mountain hideouts, renounce violence and re-integrate themselves into everyday society. One such ‘repentant’ is Rachid who, with the help of a kindly police officer, finds a job in a cafe. Then he meets an embittered local pharmacist, paving the way for the disclosure of secrets that have the potential to tear them apart, and leading to an emotionally devastating finale that audiences will find unforgettable. Ali Jaafar
