To find the beloved, one must have faith
Directed by Nacer Khemir

A meditative spiritual journey through the desert where faith, family bonds, and the search for transcendence unfold with lyrical beauty and contemplative grace.
The story of a blind dervish named Bab'Aziz and his spirited granddaughter, Ishtar. Together they wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes that takes place just once every thirty years. With faith as their only guide, the two journey for days through the expansive, barren landscape.
