The SAS (Section Administrative Spécialisée) were created in 1956 by the French army during the Algerian war to pacify "the natives". During the day, the SAS were used as treatment centres and at night as torture centres, in order to crush the Algerian resistance. The SAS were inhabited by French soldiers and auxiliaries (harkis, goumiers) and their families. At independence in 1962, a few families of auxiliaries stayed on; the vacant buildings were occupied by families of martyrs awaiting the better days promised by the new Algeria. 46 years later, the SAS at Laperrine, in the Bouira region, still exists, a unique place inhabited by people who have taken refuge there. They have been joined by farmers fleeing the terrorism of the 90s. They all live as best they can in a place they did not choose, suffering the consequences of war.

Based on Gauri Deshpande's short story 'Paus Aala Motha', the film is about a strange relationship between a girl and her step-mom.

Der Film erzählt die unglaubliche Geschichte von Antoñita “La Singla”, der Flamenco-Tänzerin, die in den 1960er Jahren Spanien und den Rest der Welt im Sturm eroberte. Sie ging mit Ella Fitzgerald auf Tournee, tanzte sogar für Dalí und trat im Olympia in Paris auf. Marcel Duchamp bewunderte sie und Jean Cocteau sagte über sie, sie “spuckte Feuer aus ihrem Mund und löschte es mit ihren Füßen”. Was diese Geschichte so anders und mystisch macht, ist die Tatsache, dass “La Singla” durch eine Infektion ihr Gehör verlor und auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere plötzlich spurlos verschwand. Fünf Jahrzehnte später rekonstruiert Paloma Zapata das Leben und die Tragödie von “La Singla”. Eine Geschichte über einen einst gefeierten jungen Flamenco-Star, die so packend ist wie “Searching for Sugar Man“.
