Sirât

A father and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar, the daughter and sister who vanished months earlier at one of these endless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they keep passing her photo from hand to hand. Hope is slipping away, yet they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one final party in the desert. As they venture into the heart of the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to face their own limits and the fractured state of the world around them.

Oliver Laxe’s (Fire Will Come) brilliant and powerful new film received the Special Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
