Mokhtar
Based on a true story, Mokhtar recounts the tale of a young boy who lives with his family of goatherds in a remote, Moroccan village. When the boy finds a fallen owl and decides to keep it—despite the fact that the owl is considered a bad omen—his new pet becomes a symbol of rebellion against his family and an icon of his fledgling independence. Kinship, religion and spirituality are all confronted in this astounding story that celebrates inner and outer strength.
