The daughter of Algerian immigrants, Amaria grew up and went to school in France, and she must now return to her parents’ homeland to marry a man she barely knows and doesn’t love. As she leaves this country where she grew up and studied, she also leaves her parents and friends from high school, one of which she is in love with. The school year comes to an end. Her future is somewhere else. Although the film was inspired by a real situation, it unfolds like a fiction film in that it takes us to a third land, the land of dreams and hopes, where everyhting finally works out for everyone. Reality, however, is stubborn, and Amaria will be forced to leave and do her duty to the end.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
