The House of Sand
Drama
A woman is taken along with her mother in 1910 to a far-away desert by her husband, and after his passing, is forced to spend the next 59 years of her life hopelessly trying to escape it.
VIBE
A vast, sun-scorched landscape becomes a character in itself, trapping its inhabitants in a cycle of longing and endurance. This film is a meditative, visually striking exploration of time's passage and the quiet strength found in desolate circumstances.
