This French and Spanish co-production with echoes of ‘Wages of Fear’ won the jury prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and has been nominated for the 2026 Best Foreign Film Oscar (& Bafta???). This is one of those films that shakes you to the core and stays with you long after viewing. A gem!

In Detail

Luis (Sergi Lopez) is traveling through southern Morocco with his son, Esteban (Bruno Núñez Arjona). They are searching for his daughter, who has been missing for five months, last seen at a dance festival in the desert.

As the pair travel from party to party, they hear of a semi-mythical rave near the border of Mauritania. Descending into the scorched terrain as a not-so-distant global conflict encroaches, Luis and Esteban are soon drawn into a primal landscape in which they must walk a tightrope between heaven and hell.

This existential road movie mixes a bit of Antonioni’s ‘Zabriskie Point’ and ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ and has truly outstanding sound design. This is edgy, mesmerising filmmaking!
