In response to the call of the National Liberation Front, thousands of Algerians from Paris and its suburbs march to protest against the curfew imposed on them on October 17, 1961. Fifty years later, the filmmaker sheds light on the events of the day. Blending testimonies and previously unseen stock footage, the film retraces the events of that day and reveals the strategy and the outrageous methods applied at the highest levels by the French state.

ESPAÑOL:
El 17 de octubre de 1961, miles de argelinos residentes en París y alrededores contestan a la llamada del Frente de Liberación Nacional (FLN) y se manifiestan para protestar contra el toque de queda que se les impone. Han transcurrido 50 años y la cineasta saca a la luz lo que ocurrió aquella tarde. A partir de una mezcla de testimonios e imágenes de archivo, la película recrea las etapas de los acontecimientos revelando la estrategia y los métodos intolerables ordenados por las altas esferas del Estado francés.
