Samt Al Rai

The Silence of the Shepherd

When fear dominates and silence becomes a sanctuary, the destiny of one person becomes the fate for all. Synopsis: Young Zahra leaves home to fetch some water from the small river nearby but never comes back. While fear silences the one witness on her disappearance, the collective Imagination of the village creates its own tale of that disappearance; a tale that belongs to the world of the forbidden.
