Sand Screens

A city looms in the middle of the desert. A city rotting in its own wealth. Its smooth, soulless buildings cannot withstand the sandstorms. Its imported modernism, awkward and out of place, encroaches on traditions, exacerbating old habits… Women are doubly veiled. Liberty is all the more threatened. Slowly, progressively, the tension in this desert mounts. An unheeded anguish builds up, relieved by fleeting moments of happiness, laughter and sensuality. Until one day when everything comes tumbling down.
