Synopsis

Mghila Mountain, Tunisia, November 2015. When a jihadist group attacks two young shepherds, 14-year-old Ashraf is forced to take a macabre message back to his family. Traumatized and trying not to lose his mind, Ashraf finds himself confronted with the powerlessness of his elders, abandoned by the authorities. Inspired by true events, the film is a dreamlike plunge into the wounded psyche of a child and his ability to overcome trauma.
