Past and present collide in the lives of a newly wealthy property developer, an ambitious neurologist impeded by wartime wrongdoings and a young woman torn between the path of reason and sentiment. Until The Birds Return is written and directed by Karim Moussaoui, and co-written by Maud Adeline. The film stars Nadia Kaci, Hania Amar, Aure Atika, Mohamed Djourhi, Sonia Mekkiou and Mehdi Ramdhani.

The film won the Wihr d'Or and Best Director awards at the Oran International Arabic Film Festival and was selected at the Un Certain Regard of the Cannes Film Festival. The film took part in a number of prestigious festivals such as Carthage Film Festival (JCC), International Film Festival Rotterdam - IFFR and Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF).

Attended by more than 13,000 spectators, the Tarifa-Tangier African Film Festival (FCAT) aims to achieve the dream of connecting two continents through culture to become the only cross-continental art event in Europe and Africa.
