Luis, along with his son Esteban, travels to a rave held in the deserts of southern Morocco in search of his missing daughter, Mar, who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. Oliver Laxe's Sirât is a staggering cinematic experience set in a spiritual hinterland, with a soundscape to match its disquieting landscape.
