Rayhana is a stage and film actress who, for many years, was associated with the Béjaïa Theater in Algiers, where she also worked as a writer and director. Forced to leave the country for political reasons, she settled in Paris in the late 1990s. In 2009, the Parisian Maison de Metallos staged her play, I Still Hide to Smoke, which was extremely popular. A year later, two fundamentalists attacked her in the street because of the play. The screen adaptation of the play marks Rayhana's film debut.
