Overview

Sam, a British filmmaker facing a life crisis, visits the Arabian desert for a job. His career is stalling, he’s on the brink of a divorce, and he’s feeling guilty about being an absent father to his young son. During a freak rainstorm, he has a fleeting and powerful connection with the captivating Inma, and these two strangers in a strange land are consumed by mutual attraction. But this isn’t a love story. These are adults with baggage, unable to walk away from their pasts. Sam also develops a bond with charismatic local guide Abdullah, whose unlikely friendship offers him the chance to further explore his emotions. Sam’s journey is both poignant and comedic; it may not provide him with easy answers, but it does offer him a chance to start anew.
