Algiers, 2018. While doubt hovers over a possible fifth term for President Abdelaziz BOUTEFLIKA, Fethi GHARES, an activist with an atypical background, decides to run in the presidential election. With only 10 days left to collect the signatures necessary for his candidacy, an unprecedented revolt broke out.
After his studies, Amine KABBES became first assistant director to Merzak ALLOUACHE on the films Madame Courage (2014), Enquête au Paradis (2015) as well as Abou Leila by Amine Sidi-Boumédiene (2020). The Last Comrade is his first feature-length documentary.
