In the aftermath of a major fire that ravaged the Forêt des Ondes, at the foot of the imaginary Hautes Aigues massif, life in the small village of Chantrionde is turned upside down. As the drought persists and weighs on rural life and agricultural activities, an investigation attempts to shed light on the mysterious origin of the fire, which occurred deep in the mountains. Meanwhile, the inhabitants are preparing for the summers to come. Sacha, a young carpenter marked by the fire, joins the Chantrionde fire station. We follow her integration into the team of volunteer firefighters, while also delving into the issues faced by mid-mountain territories alongside a mayor and a forester who are trying to restore their forest, a gatherer who saw his land go up in smoke, a young farmer taking over the family farm…

« Feu la Forêt  » tells the story of this village on a tightrope from one summer to the next, where everyone tries in their own way, alone and collectively, to rebuild life from the ashes, and to take care of it.
