The New Waves
SPANISH PREMIERE

TERMINAL SUD

Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche | France | 2019 | 96 min.
O.V in French and Arabic subtitled in English and Spanish

Condensing the identity and conflicts of the Mediterranean countries that were once under the colonial yoke, Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche elaborates a powerful allegory without geographical or temporal coordinates, a minimalist political thriller that takes its inspiration from the Costa Gavras de Z. In a city immersed in armed conflict, a doctor (the pessimistic reverse of the protagonist of The Plague of Camus) tries to do his duty despite the threats he receives. But it is difficult to avoid such a cycle of violence without being swallowed up by it.
