Not far from Timbuktu, Kidane and his family live peacefully in the dunes, seemingly beyond the control of Islamic extremists. But their destiny changes when Kidane accidentally kills a local fisherman and finds himself subject to the radical jihadists’ brutal laws. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, this “rich evocation of daily life… feels at once timely and permanent, immediate and essential” (The New York Times).
