Timgad

2016 · Released · 100 min

Once upon a time there were twelve children who were born the same day in the village of Timgad in Algeria, eleven boys and a girl, Naïma, the grocer's daughter. Over a decade later, they were all in the same class under the iron rule of Mokhtar, the secular schoolmaster. They also all played in the village soccer team founded by - Mokhtar. All, except Naïma, although she was itching to. But the families were poor and without decent shoes and worse, without a competent coach, the kids lost most of their games, particularly against Batna, their main rival. One day, Jamel, a young French-Algerian archaeologist from Marseilles, landed in the remote village. And he was not that bad at soccer.
