The Story

Original title: لخضر بن خلوف

Depicts the life of Sidi Lakhdar Ben Khlouf, an eminent symbolic figure who is part of the memory of Algerian poetry and popular fight. Sidi Lakhdar Ben Khelouf became famous thanks to his poems about the Prophet Muhammad (earning him the nickname "praiser of the Prophet") and the epic he dedicates to the Battle of Mazagran on August 26, 1558, against the Spaniards. Counted among the patron saints of the Mostaganem region, his poems are often interpreted by chaâbi singers.
