Overview

The End of the Djinns is an Algerian film set in a small Kabyle village, seen entirely through the innocent eyes of a six-year-old child. The boy inhabits a world rich with myths, legends, and folk tales that adults have shaped and concealed to define his reality. When the Algerian War of Liberation erupts, it slowly dismantles the mythological fabric of his childhood, forcing a confrontation between imagination and brutal history. The film is a tender and poetic exploration of how war strips away innocence and how traditional Kabyle culture and storytelling are transformed — or lost — in the fires of colonial conflict.
