Chronical Embers Years is composed of 6 sections :
1. The Ash Years
2. The Ambers Years.
3. The Fire Years.
4. The Cart Years.
5. The Charging Years.
6. November 11th, 1954.
The Phœnix takes a long time to reappear of its ashes than to perish. This chronicle is in a certain manner, that of this rebirth.
This film whose history starts in 1939 and finishes on November 11, 1954, does not claim to tell all the history of the Algerian revolution. Through historical reference marks, it tries to explain how and why the Algerian Revolution started on November 1, 1954.
