Story and Themes
Directed by Paris‑based Italian filmmaker Ilaria Borelli, the Arabic‑language film centers on Hadiya, a 12‑year‑old girl forced into marriage whose village becomes the target of a Western corporation seeking control of its only water source. When her community’s survival is threatened, Hadiya embarks on a perilous seven‑day journey across the desert to find her father — accompanied only by Sparrow, the family goat who becomes her lifeline.
The film explores themes of resilience, exploitation, corporate power, and the fight for autonomy, grounding its adventure elements in urgent social realities.
