Mokhtar Fresh off Dubai Win Set to Screen in Rotterdam
Mokhtar screens this month at the International Film Festival Rotterdam
Born in Switzerland to a Swiss mother and Moroccan father, Ouardiri moved to Quebec to study political science and film production. Mokhtar, her debut film tells the tale of a young goat herder living with his family in a remote Berber village in Morocco. One day, the boy, Mokhtar, discovers an injured baby owl in the trunk of a tree his goats use for grazing.
Ignoring local superstitions about owls being bad omens, the young boy decides to bring the sick animal home. His new pet personifies Mokhtar's rebellion against his family and becomes a symbol of his fledgling independence. Kinship, religion and spirituality are the themes that guide this lyrical film that champions inner strength and the human spirit.
