Goundafa, the Cursed Song plot

In a village in the High Atlas, Said, Brahim, and Omar make music and dream of a different life. Music is their freedom, their identity. The women of the village—including Fadma—work the land with song and joy. Everything changes when a new, deeply conservative imam arrives. Step by step, he sows division: he forbids everything he considers haram, leads some villagers to renounce their Amazigh identity, and drives others to rebellion. What was once community becomes division. What was once taken for granted comes under pressure.
