Le harem de Mme Osmane background

Le harem de Mme Osmane

Tensions escalate in Algiers as civil war breaks out, affecting the lives of Mrs. Osmane's apartment tenants, who are also struggling to cope with her deteriorating mental state, caused by her husband's departure and her efforts to maintain her reputation as a prominent figure in Algeri...

In 1993 Algiers, amidst the onset of civil war, Mrs Osmane's tenants suffer under her mercurial temper. Haunted by the fear of losing her social standing after her husband's departure, the former Resistance fighter becomes obsessed with controlling every aspect of her tenants' lives, diverting attention from her own frustrations. When she learns her daughter is in love, the prospect of being left alone pushes her to the brink: the fragile balance of her "harem" is about to shatter.
