This 45 minute documentary originally features on the bonus DVD of Rachid Taha's album Tékitoi. It follows Rachid and his band during their Mexican tour.

In the streets of Algiers, jacaranda trees bloom like shards of memory. Following in the footsteps of his father, Ameziane, a writer haunted by these purple trees, Hassen Ferhani explores the city, legacy and love. A rich and intimate quest in which writing, filming or choosing beauty become acts of resistance.
