Mghila Mountain, Tunisia, November 2015. When a jihadist group attacks two very young shepherds, 14-year-old Ashraf is forced to take a macabre message back to his family.

Inspired by true events, LES ENFANTS ROUGES is a dreamlike plunge into the wounded psyche of a child and his incredible ability to overcome trauma.
