In the working-class suburbs of Casablanca, Hassan and Issam, father and son, live day to day by carrying out small trafficking jobs for the local mafia. One evening, they are tasked with kidnapping a man. Trapped in a long night, they have no idea what awaits them… Kamal Lazraq’s debut feature – whose title refers to two-legged packs instead of the four-legged friends – is filmed with non-professional actors with the murky, non-touristy Casablanca in the background.
KAMAL LAZRAQ’s graduation short film Drari (2011) received the 2nd prize from la Cinéfondation in Cannes and the Grand Prize at the Entrevues de Belfort Film Festival. In 2013, he directed The Man with a Dog, which also received numerous international awards. Hounds won Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes this year.
