Madagascar. December 1976. A wind of revolt sweeps through the city. Ali, second-in command in a bookbinding workshop, is raising his two daughters alone. One morning, before going to work, he witnesses what seems to be a simple neighbourhood quarrel. The tensions between different factions however prove to be far more serious with severe consequences. The revolution which seemed to be on the streets has crept in to his compound and soon his workplace is also impacted by national rivalries. As tensions rise opposite factions take advantage of personal slights for political gain.

Hachimiya Ahamada

Hachimiya Ahamada studied directing at INSAS, Belgium. Zanatany is her second fiction film. This project continues her work on the trajectories of the Comorian diaspora to which she belongs. Between fiction and observation of reality, she builds a universe whose narrative deepens her relationship to her roots. Ylang Ylang Residence, her first short film, has been selected many times in international festivals.
