Synopsis

Three friends who had lost contact meet again when a long lost friend suddenly comes back into their lives. Together, they will have to confront the terrifying events of their youth and fight a monstrous creature born from a horrible legend.

Program Note

The world of horror stories always fascinates us. In the Moroccan legend, achoura is a chaotic night when children turn into ghosts and a monster eats children. Samir disappeared while playing with three friends during childhood. The appearance of missing Samir to the three friends after they became adults opens a gateway to the world of ghost stories, and a crucial moment to recall the forgotten horror. Morocco and France cooperate on horror lm mixed with ghost and adult story. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
