While traveling through Morocco to create a documentary play on consent, Kenza Berrada had a profound encounter: "I never thought my story could interest anyone," concluded Houria, after recounting to her the sexual abuse she suffered as a child. The impossibility of genuine attention, the inevitability of the sufferings endured by women: "That's how it was back then." "But when does that era end?"
To convey this confession and the silence surrounding it, Kenza Berrada chose to invoke Boujloud, an ancient ritual from the Rif and the Western High Atlas. The day after Eid el-Kebir, a man is covered in sheepskins and transformed into an animal. The legend states it is a divine punishment for having wronged women in a sacred place.
In a space fragmented between ritual, the personal, and the monstrous, Kenza Berrada becomes a storyteller, embodying the essence of others, narrating the perspectives of the victim, the perpetrator, and witnesses, addressing the issue of bodily boundaries, and uncovering the unspoken and contradictions within Moroccan society.
