Synopsis:

A seemingly endless, hot day somewhere in North Africa: rustlng clothes, chirping cicadas, incessant dog barking… Intimate observations of a wedding ritual: close-up shots of gestures, glances and unfamiliar actions are associated into a dreem-like cinematic construct. Only the sounds remain by which the viewer is more conjecturing than understanding what is happening – thus, the sound appears as a language.
