Joseph, one of the last goatherds on the Corsican coastline, receives a visit from the mafia. They lust after his land. Despite the pressure, he says no, he won’t move. After unwittingly killing the man sent to intimidate him, he becomes the victim of a merciless manhunt that takes place from the southern to the northern reaches of Corsica, in the middle of summer. As the days go by, the legend of Joseph spreads across the entire island thanks to his niece Vannina, embodying a resistance previously deemed impossible. About his film which premiered at Venice, director Frédéric Farrucci says: ’This often leads me to consider the island where I come from as the backdrop to a modern Western where the outlaws rule, as if none of today’s rights applied.’

Screened with the support of UNIFRANCE.
