In the sun-scorched hills of Corsica, shepherd Pierre Rocca leads a quiet life until property developers—and the mafia protecting their interests—threaten his land and legacy. Forced to abandon his flock and flee, Pierre becomes an unlikely fugitive, slipping through forests, hills, and villages as he resists a system determined to erase him.
As the manhunt escalates, Pierre’s defiance turns him into a folk hero for a fractured island grappling with gentrification, corruption, and a fading way of life. At the center of it all is a raw and commanding performance by Alexis Manenti (Les Misérables), who brings a magnetic presence to a man caught between justice and survival.
Frédéric Farrucci delivers a modern western rooted in a very contemporary France—where tradition, land, and resistance collide. With a minimalist score and powerful imagery, Le Mohican is a suspenseful, character-driven tale of resilience, rebellion, and what it means to stand your ground.
“The Mohican carries on the themes of classic westerns while showcasing a meaningful approach to freedom and community.”
— Irish Film Critic
“Frédéric Farrucci delivers a thrilling modern western… brilliantly played by Alexis Manenti.”
— Cineuropa
“The Mohican morphs from uneasy suspenseful undertow to elegiac requiem, lending resonance to the film’s no-frills, location-shot indie visuals and playing counterpoint to the utterly stripped back performance of Alexis Manenti in the lead role.”
