Transitions

<p>For Sabrina Hamdi a modern young and attractive member of Algeria's classe moyenne supérieure life is good until the uprising knocks on her door. Literally. French security forces whisk her away and toss her into a notorious prison. With a now white-hot hatred of all things French she devotes herself to ridding Algeria of colonial power.</p><p> </p><p>Luc Jaundreau a battle-hardened French Foreign Legion veteran of the brutal Indochina war hopes for a new posting to Polynesia. Instead he finds himself shipped to the sandbox Algeria to help quell yet another uprising.</p><p> </p><p>Their first run-in happens when Luc's night patrol innocently rescues a stranded Sabrina (with fake identification) after she's shot three French detectives. A second encounter happens during a nighttime firefight in Algiers' casbah. Sabrina gets the better of Luc. Recognition comes a moment before she almost pulls the trigger of her rifle. Instead she curses at him and flees down a laneway.</p><p> </p><p>A third encounter brings them together at a New Year's Eve soiree in the city's entertainment district. Shocked at seeing each other in this context they manage an awkward guarded exchange before separating. Yet a different non-lethal spark ignites itself in both. They will meet again under more favorable conditions.</p><p> </p><p>Transitions offers a sweeping canvas of mid-50s Algeria in turmoil. You will be transported from a sophisticated capital to an ambush in the Atlas Mountains from the café wars in Paris to dangerous night patrols on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Transitions is in part a war story but more a triumph of the human spirit. Fate will have its say as two armed and dangerous enemies move from being wary to being worthy of each other.</p>
