A moving and funny investigation into the tricks of memory.

It all starts with a childhood memory: a four-year-old girl meets her father for the first time at Algiers airport, bodyguards in the background.

Years later, sharing this seminal memory with her older brother, Sabrina Kassa learns that she didn't meet her father at an airport, but at Lambèse prison. Had her memory deceived her?

Ten years after this revelation, she embarks on a journey to Algeria in search of a history that slips away at every step. Assisted by a mind-boggling Artificial Intelligence, with the Algerian secret services hot on her heels, she goes from surprise to surprise. But the truth may be closer than she imagined.
