"He (Laxe)’s very adept at seducing and charming you, but it’s his insistence on asking so much of you as a viewer, including your indulgence for other people’s frailties — for their humanity — that makes this beguiling, flawed, at times bonkers movie so deeply moving."- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Opens March 13 | A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar—daughter and sister—who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. 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.
