“An unforgettable portrait of the search for unity at the edge, and end, of the world.” —Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

Deep in the mountains of southern Morocco, a father (Sergi López) and his son, Esteban (Bruno Núñez Arjona), arrive at a rave. They are searching for Mar—their 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, again and again they hand out her photo. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of revelers 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.
