Slimane, a young boy has never known his mother, disappeared when he was a year old. His father denies him believing he is the fruit an incestuous relationship. Slimane decides to investigate and find out what really happened before he was born. Reality and fiction intertwine to weave life.

In what looks like the debris of a remote paradise, a son receives harsh lessons about love, life, and humans from an eccentric father in an attempt to answer life's most difficult questions.
From the point of view of the rural boy who lives in the house with a garden that grows apples, the world seems like a question that needs more than just an answer. Perhaps with the exception of the dialect, this village can be anywhere in the world, and his father can have many other faces, meanwhile, apples are the only fruit that all humans are associated with since the beginning of creation. Apples are an extended memory that does not lose its details, combining the heavenly and the earthly.

خريف التفاح

الملخص: في بيئة تبدو كبقايا جنة نائية يتلقى الابن دروسا قاسية عن الحب والحياة والبشر على يد الأب غريب الأطوار في محاولة للإجابة على أسئلة الحياة الصعبة.

من عيني الفتى الريفي ساكن البيت الذي تنمو شجرة التفاح في ساحته الامامية يبدو العالم كسؤال يحتاج إلى أكثر من مجرد إجابة، وربما باستثناء اللهجة فإنه يمكن لهذه القرية أن تكون في اي مكان بالعالم، ويمكن لهذا الأب أن تتكرر وجوهه، أما التفاح فهو الفاكهة الوحيدة التي يرتبط بها كل البشر منذ بدء الخليقة، التفاح هو ذاكرة ممتدة لا تغيب تفاصيلها، تجمع ما بين السماوي والأرضي، ما بين القدري والاختياري
