During a hunting expedition, Homer shoots a bearded vulture, a protected bird of prey. Made into a scapegoat, the persecuted hunter ends up dying as a result… Based on a small news item, this social tale creeps into the rumors of a kingdom confined between two mountainous borders.

Born in 1980, Zahra Vargas completed a BA in Cinema at the University of art and design in Geneva and a Diploma in Film Photography of the Union of Film industry Argentina in Buenos Aires. Homer, A Hunter's Fate is her first film.
