The Cork

Belkacem Hadjadj, a recent graduate from INSAS in Brussels, returns to his homeland of Algeria and dives head-first into the world of television by directing his first feature film, "Le Bouchon." Inspired by the lighthearted humor of Italian comedies, this film delves into the chaotic misadventures of a tenant grappling with a persistent water leak. As the protagonist's efforts to fix the issue lead to a series of increasingly absurd mishaps, Hadjadj masterfully blends humor with cultural nuance, providing viewers with both a laugh-out-loud experience and a glimpse into Algerian life.
