RED PATH is a dreamlike journey into the wounded psyche of a young shepherd, Achraf, and his ability to overcome the traumatic death of his cousin.

While grazing their flock in the mountains, two teenagers were attacked by Jihadists. Accused of being an army informer, 16-year-old Nizar is beheaded, and 14-year-old Achraf is ordered to carry his cousin's severed head as a gruesome message to the family. Achraf, haunted by visions, will carry his terrible burden through a painful initiatory journey during which he will need to summon all the tools of imagination and childhood in an attempt to survive.

Director's Intention:
"Red Path" tells the story of how childhood, faced with extreme violence, also has the kind of magical power to transcend that violence by using the psychic and dream tools at its disposal.
Although marked by a bloody starting point, the film never indulges in it and only focuses on it to get to the heart of what concerns me: observing the mutations of my character. By focusing on this process, the film becomes Achraf's journey of initiation and the story of his emergence from childhood. "Red Path" is, above all, the story of a struggle for survival.
