Overview

Garagouz is a North African drama that follows Mokhtar, a traditional puppeteer, and his young son as they travel the gloomy rural countryside in an aging van, performing for the scattered schools dotting the landscape. Quiet and poetic in its pacing, the film sketches a portrait of a marginalized livelihood — a father passing on a dying art to his child, reaching small audiences in forgotten places. It is a gentle elegy for itinerant performance and the human need for storytelling.
