Dhil al Ardh plot

On the edge of the desert and in the beginning of the rock massif, a small community lives on sheep farming. The fertile years are over: the stock of millet is running out, the sheep get sick and the drought makes the sparse grass disappear. Out of necessity, one of the men goes abroad to earn money. After his return, he must fulfill his military service. His father, wife and child watch as the community slowly but surely falls apart.
