Successful writer Samir Amin has lived in Paris since he left his hometown in Algeria 40 years ago. After winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he has turned down the many international honors people try to give him – until the day his hometown invites him back to get a special award. To everyone’s surprise, he accepts. Samir’s childhood buddy Miloud welcomes him like a superhero. As they tour town and country, sharing moments of joy and emotion, Samir revisits the old world he left behind and discovers a new generation of young activists who share his commitment to justice and change. Though filled with new hope, Samir soon finds out that going back to the real places and people behind his inspiration can lead to unexpected consequences.
