La Nouba des femmes du mont Chenoua

Returning to her native region fifteen years after the end of the Algerian War, Lila is haunted by memories of the War of Independence that shaped her childhood. Engaging in conversation with other Algerian women, she reflects on the differences between their lives and her own. Through lyrical imagery, she contemplates the power of the grandmothers who, from generation to generation, have passed on the traditions of anti-colonial resistance. La Nouba des femmes du mont Chenoua is a captivating portrait of speech and silence, of memory and creation, and of a tradition where past and present coexist.
