Overview
Kilikis: The Town of Owls is a documentary exploring a remote residential community nestled in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, built to house the families and guards of a secret political detention camp that remained hidden from official history until the early 1990s. The guards' daily lives oscillate between the isolated village and the fortress prison, connected by a precarious suspension bridge spanning a deep valley. The film examines the psychological and social reality of those who lived in the shadow of state repression during Morocco's notorious "Years of Lead" — a community suspended between complicity and survival, loyalty and silence.
