Mimosas

MIMOSAS is born of the union between an adventure film and the portrayal of a worldly mysticism, which is a daring and risky approach that has spawned other brilliant works like JAUJA by Lisandro Alonso and BIRDSONG by Albert Serra. The movie unspools an epic journey in three chapters, which bear the titles of the positions adopted in Salat worship (bowing, standing and prostration).
It starts off with a caravan crossing the Atlas Mountains, led by the Sufi master, Sheikh, to accompany him to a remote city. The proprietor of a taxi company in Morocco, located in a parallel dimension, realizes that some of this expedition are questioning the master’s wisdom. In order to ensure that this neo-western-like caravan does not lose faith, he sends his best employee, Shakib, off. But when Shakib appears in the other universe, the Sheik is dead. So he has to restore faith. (Carlota Moseguí)
