Under the tender, worried gaze of his filmmaker friend, Wassim, a young musician, poet, and sociologist, wanders through the maze of white Algiers, his hometown. Still sporting his traditional tarbouche and melancholy smile, he shares his reflections on art, his attachment to his roots, and his insatiable desire to discover what awaits him elsewhere. Each note played becomes a metaphor for his trajectory in this introspective journey, marked by the inner conflict between his love for his country and his burning desire to leave it. Clef du sol is a delicate, heartfelt work that introduces us to a new generation of Algerian artists and prompts us to reflect on the meaning we give to art. (MAS)
