‘Nya’ takes place during Algeria’s civil war, where terrorism struck the whole country. It tells the story of a little girl whose innocence is slowly undermined by the reality of death.
Suburbs of Algiers, 1994. Anya lives a seven-year-old child’s life, little aware of the tensions of the civil war tearing the country apart. Her only wish—that her father, a journalist currently gone on assignment, will return on time for the Mouloud holiday. However, the violence of reality gradually intrudes on her daily life, making her childish innocence waver.
