Synopsis

Set in modern-day Tunisia, a group of journalism students set out on a university assignment to solve the cold case of Mongia, a woman found mutilated 25 years ago and now imprisoned in an asylum, suspected of withchcraft. They are led to Dachra, an isolated compound and home to a clt with many dark secrets.

Program Note

While it is a common log-line that the path of journalism students to find the truth is ultimately a path that puts them at risk, this spookiness of an isolated town in the remote city of Tunisia is a rare sight. The existence of the muted women in black is meaningful. Tunisia’s first cannibalism horror. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
