After her younger brother dies during a police stop, Malika fights to bring the case to trial — but her search for the truth threatens to tear her family apart. Avant que les flammes ne s'éteignent (After the Fire) draws directly on the case of Adama Traoré, who died in 2016 under suspicious circumstances following his arrest in Persan, and whose sister Assa Traoré has since become a leading voice in the fight against police violence.
