  This exotic, gut-wrenching thriller with its breathtaking cinematography, holds us captivated in
  fear and anticipation, where mirage and reality blur and magic await when least expected.
  The story follows Hadiya, a 12-year-old girl who, after being forced into marriage, becomes the
  target of a Western corporation that seeks to control the only water source in her village. She decides she must help her village and sets out on a harrowing journey to find her father and bring justice to her community.Throughout her terrifying desert crossing, Hadiya’s only companion is Sparrow, the family goat who keeps her alive for seven long days.
  Beyond the thrills and shocks of Hadiya’s adventure the movie addresses some of the pressing issues of our times: plastic pollution, corporate greed, corruption and the oppression of the innocent. As the girl’s journey unfolds we are increasingly drawn in emotionally, realizing that the mystical and stunning desert landscape will have a different meaning to us for the rest of our lives. A fascinating story about the victory of the human spirit against all odds.
