Directed by Mahmoud Zemmouri

In the Belleville district of Paris, Brahim and Mouloud, two French friends of Maghreb origin, are just scraping by. The France-Algeria soccer game throws their lives into upheaval and forces them to deal with an identity dilemma. Are they French or Algerian?
The conflicting feelings of these two young Beurs is given a comic treatment that makes no attempt to disguise the seriousness of the issue (racism and integration).
The engaging characters in this social tale provide a lively take on the tragi-comic nature of their confusion.
