Hawaii. Born in Tazmurt, a village in Djurdjura. She is nicknamed “dog who fell from the sky”. She finds refuge with Petit Chili, a street and forest child, before Meksa, a threatened journalist, takes her under her wing. Together, they put on a play dedicated to Anzar, the Berber god of rain. But fanaticism is gaining ground, condemning the celebration of ancient memories, blocking dreams and landmarks.
Sculpted from the history of Algeria, When the mountain responds to the wind rubs shoulders with the bitter taste of freedom. At the heart of this great score, the protagonists carry within themselves the embers and scars of a country, while embodying intimate, feminine and popular resistance.
