English tourists weirdly take pictures of Algerian children. Voiceover describes the war that took place in Algeria during the 60s. Multiple shots of Algerian soldiers at war, Algerians leaving their homes. Shots of diplomats explaining the problem to news teams, a French politician comes to Algeria to regain popularity. Shots of the destruction caused by fighting. Long shots of scenery, plains and fields with few people. Shots of “modern” women - i.e., wearing western clothes. Shots of theater, music, ballet classes. Shots of crops, deserts.
