Currently nominated for Baftas and 2 Oscars, Oliver Laxe’s existential thriller, set in the mountains of southern Morocco, follows a father’s search for his daughter Mar who has chosen to vanish among the nomads of a radical rave music scene endlessly traveling the desert.
Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. Not to mention a mysterious war which rages on all around them on the distant horiizon. A complete original and startling new film from the director of the equally distinctive Fire will Come.
Featuring a thrillingly bold soundtrack by Kangding Ray.
