The Repentant

In the high flatlands of Algeria, a young jihadist named Rashid leaves the mountains to return to his village, seeking amnesty and a chance to redeem himself. He surrenders to the police, gives up his weapon, and is given a job and a place to live. But the law cannot erase his crimes, and Rashid's attempt to atone for his past leads him down a dangerous path of violence, secrets, and manipulation. As he struggles to find his place in a society that doesn't fully accept him, Rashid's past comes back to haunt him, and he must confront the consequences of his actions. Will he be able to find peace and redemption, or will his past continue to haunt him?
