Un simple fait divers

1997 · 90 min

An old journalist, Omar, remembers the 70s and Salim a young 35-year-old journalist who had dared to investigate a corrupt senior state official. Omar knows it's a fight lost in advance but Salim refuses to let go. He resists because his duty as a journalist and his contempt for the untouchables who believe themselves above the law incite him to take all risks. But one day, the newspapers announce the death of Salim, cowardly murdered by a burglar. In short, a simple fact.
