The film is set in a remote village in 90s Saudi Arabia, where Norah spends most of her time away from the village. Now she has to step out of her world to get what she wants, after discovering that Nader is more than just a new teacher in the village.
"It's a film about deserts, sand, landscapes, but also the story of a teacher and a young girl, Norah..." punctuated Thierry Frémaux half-heartedly on April 11, when he announced the selection of Tawfik Alzaidi's film in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes 2024 Festival.
