What the day owes to the night

Algeria, 1930s. Younes is only nine years old. His father, ruined by debt, loses his land, is forced to move to Oran, and decides to give his son to his uncle, a pharmacist integrated into the city's French community. Younes, renamed Jonas, grows up among the French boys, becoming their inseparable companion. They share discoveries, dreams, and fears that not even World War II or Arab nationalism can disturb. Until the day Émilie returns to the city. The love story that began years before is reborn and, along with the independence revolution, challenges the limits of courage, friendship, and loyalty.
