Vencedor do prestigiado Palma de Ouro no Festival de Cannes em 1975, “Chronique Des Années De Braise” retrata a luta da Argélia pela independência do domínio colonial francês. A história segue a migração de um camponês de sua aldeia devastada pela seca à sua eventual participação com o movimento de resistência argelina, pouco antes da eclosão da Guerra de Independência da Argélia.
