A father (Sergi López) 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.

Following his celebrated work on AFIRE (Grand Jury Prize, Berlinale 2023), this marks the fourth collaboration between the director and Silver Bear-winning actress for UNDINE (Berlinale 2020), Paula Beer.

On a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura, a piano student from Berlin, miraculously survives a car crash. Physically unhurt but deeply shaken, she is taken in by a local woman who witnessed the accident and now cares for Laura with motherly devotion.

But soon they can no longer ignore their past, and Laura has to come to terms with her own life.
