Dane, a driver for an NGO in N’Djamena (capital of Chad), has the misfortune to run over a schoolboy. His pregnant wife runs to his aid to pay the hospital bills, but it’s too late: the child succumbs to his injuries, and his family summons Dane’s. He will be subjected to the diya, the blood debt, the payment of an exorbitant sum he doesn’t have.

“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Achille Ronaimou's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Diya is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
