From visionary filmmaker Oliver Laxe, SIRÂT is a Cannes Jury Prize-winning fever dream, a hypnotic, bass-thumping odyssey that fuses existential road movie and apocalyptic thriller into one of the year’s most startling cinematic experiences.
A father travels with his son to a remote rave in southern Morocco searching for his missing daughter who vanished months ago. As geopolitical tensions ignite and soldiers shut the party down, they follow a band of ravers deeper into the desert toward one last gathering. What begins as hope becomes a punishing journey into a landscape where grief, danger and destiny collide…
Brutal, mysterious and often unexpectedly tender, SIRÂT is an immersive big-screen experience, its vast desert vistas and thunderous sound design demanding to be felt as much as seen. With a commanding turn from Sergi López and a cast of largely non-professionals, Laxe expertly crafts a radical meditation on loss, found family and the illusion of escape in a world on the brink.
