Dreams are as wide as the desert sands, their treasures hidden beneath the dunes of sleep. Thousands of years ago, an unseen mentor advises a young woman newly anointed as her community’s Khaleemah, or Dreamer, whose task is to divine truths from the visions she has during the deepest of the seven stages of slumber. Borne away by her fellow villagers to a magical oasis to connect with the spiritual dimension, she encounters demons, is pursued into a labyrinth fort, then escapes with the help of her friends, the birds. Made with puppets in stop-motion animation, this is a myth full of charm, wisdom and mystery.
