Synopsis in French: Dans le voyage en pays kabyle, le paysage féerique tant vanté, côtoie un décor désolant fait de gigantesques montagnes d’ordure et de toutes sortes des détritus jonchant les faussées et les accotements débordant jusque sur la chaussée. Ces amas sauvages semblent s’installer durablement partout dans l’indifférence et la complicité de tout un chacun. Les populations ont tendance à s’adapter à la prolifération de ces saletés et les autorités paraissent impuissantes devant ces situations qui défient toutes règles d’hygiène, de santé et de protection de l’environnement.
