Camargue, France - famous for its traditional bull race, an exhilarating and graceful challenge of agility and respect between man and beast. Surrounded by men, 22-year-old Nejma trains hard to fulfill her dream of winning the upcoming annual competition - but news of a rogue and violent bull on the loose terrifies the community. Young men are being murdered everywhere, and the beast is nowhere to be seen.

Anchored in a unique western setting and centring on a stunning performance by César-winning actress Oulaya Amamra (Divines), ANIMALE is an unforgettable and blazingly confident supernatural fable that blends with the classic body horror, and the rape-revenge thriller.
