The film follows Ben Youssef family's arduous transhumant journey from the desert-like landscape of Nkob to the green pastures of Agdal Igourdane, throughout uneven terrain of steep climbs and descents of the High Atlas mountains. A sensorial ethnographic story on the incredible movement and (im)mobilities of the family and their herd, the film juxtaposes the hopes and constraints, obligations and sacrifices of a family torn apart between their traditions and their need to adapt to modern life. Stretching over the past, present and the future, the film provides an inter-generational perspective on the essence and the very challenges of nomadism within an ever transforming Moroccan society. (The film is produced with support of the Global Diversity Foundation and the Moroccan Biodiversity and Livelihoods Association). See less
