Cheikha Rabia, great priestess of traditional raï, and Bellemou, creator of modern raï, share the stage during an Algerian night at Banlieues Bleues Jazz Festival. Shot on a black backdrop and never using long or medium shots, the film focuses on the details that reveal each artist's personal performance by disconnecting it from any contextual reference. Using the same approach, two dancers are filmed separately then edited in, creating a rhythmic interplay of shapes and colors, which reinforces the trance effect produced by the sound track. Rabia and Bellemou discuss their fates.
