In the unforgiving landscape of Mount Mghila, Tunisia, a young boy’s life is irrevocably altered by an unexpected and brutal act of violence. Thirteen-year-old shepherd Ashraf, who was innocently playing with his cousin Nizar in a forbidden area, is ambushed by a group of jihadists. The tranquility of their play is shattered, and Ashraf is sent home with a harrowing message.
With stunning cinematography, the film delves deep into the psychological impact of violence on children, portraying the stark reality of rural Tunisia while contrasting it with more introspective, ethereal moments – Borderlines Film Festival
