The Red Hood Setup Print

Abutbul, a renowned criminal of Moroccan descent, arrives back in Israel after having served 10- years in a Russian prison due to a shady business deal gone wrong.

When he arrives in Israel, Abutbul realizes that the new Russian mafia has taken control of most of the business previously run by the atrophied veteran Moroccan mafia. Abutbul, a Moroccan who is well versed in the Russian mafia is exactly the right person to save the dying Moroccan mafia.

Abutbul’s first job is to eliminate Maximov, the head of the Russian Mafia in Israel. In order to do so, he recruits a 15-year-old Russian girl named Katia.

After all her family members are killed, and she has just about been thrown on the streets, Katia is rescued by Abutbul who offers her a new life in exchange for killing Maximov.

A unique relationship is forged between Abutbul and Katia, corresponding to the famous fable of “Little Red Riding Hood”. But with a twist: Katia is not a naïve little girl, but a sophisticated young she-wolf who quickly learns the rules of the jungle that Abutbul teaches her.

At the end of a complex psychological teaching process, Katia goes on the mission and eliminates Maximov. But the success of the mission brings neither Katia, nor Abutbul the long awaited release they had hoped for: quite the opposite. The Moroccan Mafia demands that Abutbul get rid of Katia before she finds out he is at the basis of the elimination of her family.

A battle of the minds ensues between Abutbul and Katia, in which they both use all of their wisdom, cunning and seductive abilities in order to stay alive.


 

*KIPA ADUMA (the film’s Hebrew title means “Little Red Riding Hood”): besides the
renowned folk tale, this is a slang expression in the Israeli mafia, which means an
assassination by a close friend or family member.
