Chouf follows Sofiane, a young man of Algerian descent living in Marseille's drug-infested ghetto. Initially returning home for vacation as a brilliant student, his life takes a dramatic turn when he witnesses his brother being shot dead by unidentified assailants. Consumed by grief and vengeance, Sofiane abandons his studies to immerse himself in the city's dangerous underworld of drugs and violence.

However, as Sofiane becomes more entrenched in this criminal life, he finds himself spiraling into an increasingly violent world.
Chouf, directed by Karim Dridi and released in 2016, is a French drama film set against the backdrop of Marseille's drug scene. The title 'Chouf,' meaning 'look' in Arabic, also refers to the watchmen in Marseille's drug cartels, subtly hinting at the film's themes of vigilance and violence. Sofiane, played by Sofian Khammes, is a complex protagonist torn between his ambition for revenge and his desire for a better life. The film explores themes of masculinity, loyalty, and the inescapable cycle of violence that plagues many urban communities.
