It is summertime, in Algiers, back in 1955 when nine years-old Khadidja meets Lyes, Philippe, and Ahmed. Together, they will do everything in their power to rescue Malek, Khadidja’s older brother who has been arrested and embark on an investigation!  We follow the crew from their secret hideout on the roofs of the Casbah to the market, in a summer full of action.

These four friends, coming from different communities, seemingly with nothing in common, will be forever bound by this adventure.

A life-changing summer for four kids… and a country.

This serialized adventure series, co-written by Alice Zéniter (author of the multi-awarded novel The art of losing), tackles universal questions: how children can overcome community differences without any political or religious prejudices? How can they fight for more justice as children? How to open a cross-generational dialogue so that History is told at school and within families, not only in books, to build our common future?
