Le Fils du joueur
Synopsis
When he returns to Tripoli, the city where he was born, Karim's memories flood back. Of that Sunday in September 1975 when his grandfather asked him to go to a café on the other side of town and bring his father, a big gambler, home. He was only six years old. It was just a few minutes before war broke out.
