SYNOPSIS

In the marshlands of southern Iraq, Ibrahim and his family live isolated from the rest of the world, deeply intertwined with the river, the reeds and the animals they tend. The quiet and withdrawn Ibrahim finds solace only in his buffalo, his one true companion. One morning, a dense fog blankets the marshes and Ibrahim senses an ominous shift in the land. The rivers begin to dry up, the earth cracks and the once flourishing landscape starts fading into a barren wasteland. As Ibrahim’s world collapses, he must confront forces beyond his control that threaten not only his way of life but also the one living creature he truly understands.
