Into the Night (Toute la nuit) is an Algerian drama directed by Fayçal Hammoum, following Louisa, a woman in her fifties who wanders the nighttime streets of Algiers putting up missing person posters in search of her daughter Souad. Played with quiet heartbreak by the magnificent Djalila Kadi Hanifi, whose face is etched with melancholy and years of waiting, Louisa becomes a symbol of an entire generation's grief and disconnection. With economy and precision, the film illuminates the profound generational divide between those who lived through Algerian independence and today's youth. A haunting nocturnal portrait of maternal love, loss, and the widening chasm between the past and the present in contemporary Algeria.
