Synopsis
The possible story of a man, Aziz, told through the landscapes he traversed: from the clinic where he was born in a Parisian suburb to the university where he studied and his workplaces. Then, his departure to Egypt, Turkey and the road to Aleppo where he joined the ranks of the al-Nusra Front in 2012. A journey tracked by a second storyline, made of extracts from judicial records: police interrogations, wiretaps, surveillance reports… Documents, like pages from a script, intertwined with images and sounds to compose a film that pertains less to a singular character, Aziz, than to the architectural, political, social and judicial landscapes in which his story unfolds.
