Overview

A forest and wildlife enthusiast, Aqqa became the best hunter in his region at an early age. His wide-ranging knowledge of the forest is matched only by his immutable sense of freedom. Attempts to domesticate this wild soul turned him into a bloodthirsty bandit. With his gang, he sowed terror throughout the 1990s. The legend of Boulouhouch spreads throughout the country, presenting him as a mythical being with superhuman powers who had to be taken down in an increasingly modernized and rationalized Morocco. The film explores the fall of a man in search of freedom in a green far-west; the Atlas Mountains.
