Barrières, is a 1977 Algerian movie, directed by Ahmed Lallem, and starring Abderrahim Laloui, Habiba, Mohamed Fellag. with a runtime of 102 minutes.
Barrières is an Algerian historical drama set against the backdrop of revolution and social transformation. The film follows Tahar, heir to a wealthy, privileged family who struggles to preserve his elevated status as the revolution reshapes Algerian society. Steeped in historical symbolism, the narrative charts the disintegration of a feudal family dynasty following the death of the patriarch — an event that strips away the illusions sustaining their world. Barrières uses this intimate family story as a lens to examine the broader collision between entrenched privilege and irreversible social change, making it a resonant portrait of Algeria at a historical crossroads.
