Sirât (CTC)

A father and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They're 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.
