The Railcar that Only Travels by Night

This is the true story of Djamila, who grew up in a shantytown in Northern France during the 1960s. Her father, an Algerian migrant, repurposed a decommissioned railcar on a desolate French Railways lot to shelter his family. Djamila's childhood unfolded within this community of railcars, marked by vivid and intense memories of a wild, unrestrained youth. She would later defy the era's norms with remarkable courage to escape an arranged marriage.
