Bab El Web

Directed by Merzak Allouache

With Faudel, Sofia Nouacer Kouninef, Hacène Benzerari, Samy Naceri and Julie Gayet

Kamel and his brother Bouzid live in Bab el Oued, a working-class neighborhood in Algiers. Kamel is a loner, disillusioned and taciturn. Bouzid, more jovial, is an Internet enthusiast. He spends his time in a cybercafé chatting with girls from all over the world. Without really believing it, he invites them to Algiers. But one day, Laurence, one of his French correspondents, tells him that she accepts his invitation.
