In 1954, as the Algerian War begins, Fernand and Hélène fall in love. Together, they settle in Algiers, where Hélène discovers the beauty of the country and Fernand's deep attachment to this land. But their lives are turned upside down when Fernand joins the fight for freedom, just as tensions between France and Algeria reach their peak. The film traces the journey of a couple caught up in the turmoil of history and faced with heart-wrenching choices.
Filmed between France and Algeria, the film stands out for its sober historical reconstruction and intimate staging. Hélier Cisterne highlights the tension between the personal and the political, exploring love, loyalty, and commitment in an era marked by colonial division.
With its human approach and contemplative pace, De nos frères blessés will appeal to viewers interested in stories of love and resistance, and more broadly, films inspired by real events about colonial memory.
