24 year old Abdel Harachi is unemployed and a heavy drug addict who earns a little money to keep an eye on cars in a street in the centre of Algiers. Unauthorized traffic wardens are a widespread phenomenon in the capital, and at night you see these young men hanging out in the streets at night to receive a few coins in gratitude when the owner of a car picks it up in the morning. He has been in and out of prison numerous times and tried to smuggle him self aboard ships in the harbour more than fifteen times - failing every time and ending up in jail. Algeria is suffering an unemployment crisis, with up to 50 percent of 18 to 30 year olds out of work. Educated young people are becoming increasingly disillusioned, frustrated and resentful about the state of their nation.
