One of the most interesting auteurs working in Spain today, Catalan filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta, and one of Spain’s foremost living artists, Miquel Barceló, guide us through the Mali desert in search of a fresco painted by Augiéras in this gorgeous film that won the Golden Shell (Best Film) at the San Sebastian International Film Festival

"Lacuesta’s usual ace d.p. Diego Dussuel impressively captures the striking Mali landscapes, and his atmospheric nocturnal scenes, with their fanciful evocations of an almost otherworldly spirituality, are also things of wonder." Jay Weissberg, Variety
