Masquerades (Arabic: مسخرة, romanized: Maskhara) is a 2008 Algerian-French film directed by Lyes Salem.
A village in Algiers. Proud and a bluffer, Mounir wishes to be admired by all, but he has a weakness: His sister, Rym, who falls asleep anywhere. One night on the way back from the city, and quite inebriated, he shouts out to all and sunder that a rich businessman has asked for his sister's hand. By the next morning, he's the envy of all. Trapped by his own lie, Mounir changes his family's destiny.
Masquerades is an Algerian-French co-production, directed by Lyes Salem.[1]
