Heart Of Fire
From the director of the astonishing "Story Of The Weeping Camel" comes an epic tale of wartime drama.
She has the heart of a fighter: filled with strength, love and longing. Despite the chaos and turbulence of her country's savage war of independence, Awet grows up peacefully in an orphanage, lovingly cared for by Italian nuns. Then, one day, Awet learns that her father, a hard-bitten freedom fighter, is still alive and demands her return.
Amidst her new, highly unusual family, Awet finds not warmth and security but poverty and hard work. She and her sister are ultimately given away to one of the rival liberation armies as "daughters of Eritrea." There amongst the brutal lessons of life, Awet learns the ideals of freedom and experiences the numbing madness of war, coming face to face with death and fanaticism.
But her "heart of fire," her courage and her conscience finally show her a way out...
