1970113 min7.0 / 10

A visually stunning, countercultural romance set against the desert landscape and social upheaval of 1970s America, blending sensual intimacy with political alienation and existential uncertainty.

Anthropology student Daria, who's helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert, and dropout Mark, who's wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot, accidentally encounter each other in Death Valley and soon begin an unrestrained romance.
