Accompanied by his young son, a middle-aged man travels from rave to rave in the deserts of Morocco, searching for his missing daughter. Following a rumor about her whereabouts, the pair join up with a nomadic crew of misfits and set out for a mythic dance party in the depths of the Sahara—a journey that will take them to the very edge of personal and global desolation. Evoking works like The Wages of Fear, Mad Max, and Zabriskie Point, yet singular unto itself, this Best International Film-nominee is a mystical, intense (like, very intense) experience destined for the cult canon.
Two Academy Award nominations:
