Outside the Law

The gripping story of Algeria's battle for self-determination unfolds against the backdrop of post-war France, as the Algerian people fight for their freedom and identity.

Three brothers and their mother are forced to scatter across the globe after losing their family home in Algeria. Each brother takes a different path: one joins the French army in Indochina, another becomes a leader in the Algerian independence movement in France, and the third moves to Paris to pursue a life of fortune in the city's underground clubs and boxing rings. As their individual struggles unfold, their paths eventually converge in Paris, where the fight for freedom becomes a central theme.
