Algiers. An overcrowded city with endless traffic jams, chaotic crowds, rundown buildings, old apartments piled up with families trying to survive... The Casbah, Bab El Oued, Belcourt, Notre-Dame d’Afrique, Telemly: five historic neighbourhoods of the Algerian capital. Five terraces of buildings situated in each of these neighbourhoods. Five stories independent of each other, which mingle and clash in the span of one day, from dawn until midnight, paced by the five calls to prayer coming from the city’s many mosques. Five neighbourhoods, five terraces, five moments in the day and five stories to describe a society thought to be serene but which, in fact, is far from peaceful.
