SYNOPSIS
In the remote sands of the Moroccan
desert, a rifle shot rings out detonating
a chain of events that will link an
American tourist couple¹s frantic struggle
to survive, two Moroccan boys involved
in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally
crossing into Mexico with two American
children and a Japanese teen rebel
whose father is sought by the police in
Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and
sprawling distances, each of these four
disparate groups of people are
nevertheless hurtling towards a shared
destiny of isolation and grief.
In the course of just a few days, they will
each face the dizzying sensation of
becoming profoundly lost lost in the
desert, lost to the world, lost to
themselves as they are pushed to the
farthest edges of confusion and fear as
well as to the very depths of connection
and love.
