Ali in Wonderland
Ali in Wonderland (1980) is a drama, comedy film directed by Ahmed Rachedi rated 9.5/10.
In the 1980s, barely 18 years after Algeria's independence, Algerian immigration to France massively fueled the construction industry, responding to a demand for hard, undervalued labor.

He hopes to escape his situation with the money he wins in the lottery, and from the top of his crane, he allows himself to dream, observing the world through binoculars. One day, the jackpot falls...
