After the fire

A Film by Lilou Lemaire

Summer 2022: following an unprecedented heatwave and drought, the first mega-fire strikes south-west France, ravaging more than 30,000 hectares. The Landes forest has never been so affected by climate change... How should we respond? Is it conceivable to recreate soulless, flammable "factory forests" based on the foundations of the old world? Will we choose to repeat our mistakes for the sake of profit? How can we adapt to this new climate that is impacting all living things and our French realities?
