Délice Paloma (Paloma Delight)
2007, France/Algeria
Dir. Nadir Mokneche
French and Arabic, with English subtitles
134 minutesWhen it comes to surviving in today’s Algeria, no scam is too daunting for the woman who has adopted her country’s name. If they are pretty and lacking in principles, her recruits can make a career for themselves. The latest of these, Paloma, is quite a hit, especially with Riyad, Madame Aldjeria’s son. But the purchase of the Caracalla Hot Springs, the dream that should allow Aldjeria’s clan to start a new life, proves to be one scam too many.
