I Still Hide to Smoke is an Algerian tragicomedy directed by Rayhana, set entirely within the steamy intimacy of a traditional Algerian hammam. Nine women of different ages and social backgrounds gather in this sanctuary outside the male gaze, where confessions, laughter, grief, and dark secrets flow freely. Each woman's story adds a thread to a rich tapestry of Algerian womanhood — desires suppressed, freedoms imagined, and traditions questioned. Tender yet frank, the film uses the hammam as both a safe space and a mirror, offering a deeply human portrait of women navigating the tension between who they are and who society expects them to be.
