Directing
In a village where the well—once a source of life—has run dry, the elders believe that a human sacrifice can restore its power. Houria, a young woman chosen as the offering, walks forward to the rhythm of funeral chants, torn between the weight of tradition and her mother’s love. Under the unyielding gaze of the sheikh, her blood reveals a stark truth: here, it is not life, but death that nourishes the village’s roots.
