Le Retour is an Algerian drama set in the early 1970s that follows Lakhdar, a peasant farmer who leaves behind his desert homeland and family to seek a living in France. The weight of immigration bears down on him relentlessly as he yearns to return to his roots. When the long-awaited day finally comes and Lakhdar walks the streets of Paris ready to go home, fate intervenes and steers his life in an entirely unexpected direction. The film offers a poignant portrait of displacement, longing, and the gap between the life one imagines and the life one lives.
