Sirat    [trailer]

A father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa.

While there are story fragments and episodes. The movie is more about creating a trance-like mood by using electronic music sounds and a trip through the desert that leads to a growing sense of desperation. It is more meant to be experienced than understood.

That's captivating if you are willing to immerse yourself. But it helps if you are prepared for it.
