Algerian novelist Samir Amin reverently applies to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm. Amin was inundated with invitations and meetings after the news of receiving the prestigious award spread.
He rejected all but one invitation that touched his heart and ignited the flame of nostalgia, an invitation from the Algerian municipality of Sidi Mimoun, his hometown. The debate was initially elitist but turned into a political and economic debate after the advent of new President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
