Abstract

In contemporary Ethiopia, a farming community's exodus is disrupted when the patriarch of a prominent family disappears from his grave. Tessema, his son, begins to question the church's divine explanation, forcing him to launch his own investigation. ALAZAR premiered at the Semaine De la Critique (Critics’ Week) during the Cannes Film Festival 2024.
