In Annab, Algeria, farmers have lived under the shadow of terrorism for decades, clinging to their land despite constant fear. When a devastating wildfire broke out, consuming everything, they faced a new catastrophe. Annab captures this violent transformation with poetic, vérité-style visuals, without interviews or voiceovers, relying solely on spontaneous dialogue between characters and steady shots, following their rise from the ashes as they rebuild and restore life anew.
