L'Algérie en 1989 : peu de temps après les émeutes d'octobre 1988, la vie quotidienne est dure dans le quartier de Bab El Oued à Alger. Boualem arrache, sur son immeuble, un haut-parleur diffusant la parole de l'imam, car cela l'empêchait de dormir (il travaille de nuit). Les intégristes islamistes saisissent ce prétexte pour répandre la terreur. Ainsi, ils prennent à partie Ouardya, une femme aux mœurs jugées trop libres.

Omar is a young and lively, rather macho Algerian who holds a good job in the Department of Frauds and lives in a crowded apartment with his sisters, his mother and grandparents. He loves to listen to Arabian and Indian music, to party with his friends, and to dream about women. A friend of his gives him a tape; when he listens to it, he is fascinated by the woman’s voice. That same friend arranges for him to meet the woman, who is totally different from what he had imagined on hearing her voice.

Harragas are clandestine immigrants that flee their country to escape from poverty. The story takes place in Mostaganem, on the Algerian coast. The boatman, Hassan, prepares the secret crossing of a group of immigrants to Spain. Ten illegal immigrants that barely take anything with them: a change of clothes, a cell phone and a bit of money. Harragas tells the odyssey of this group of people who dream of Spain, barely 125 miles from the Algerian coast and the door that opens onto the European Eldorado.
