In a French town, twenty people recount "their Algeria" from 1954 to 1962. They were: conscripts, independence activists, Harkis, Pied-Noirs, or simply farmers, overwhelmed by "the events." We have gathered these testimonies, each one echoing another, addressing the reasons for this war, the fighting in Algeria and France, and the departure for and arrival in mainland France. But above all, these are personal or family stories whose telling helps to alleviate suffering and improve understanding between the heirs of conflicting memories.

The film "succeeds in giving voice to a rare and diverse perspective" (Leila Sebbar);

"It's magnificent! Magnificent! (...) There's a kind of balance, and at the same time it's very moving. It's incredibly well-made" (Claude-Marie Trémois).
