A phenomenal and unique portrait of a group of thrill-seeking ravers entering a spiritual abyss in Oliver Laxe’s extraordinary new film. Euphoria and devastation are the twin emotional poles as a worried father and his pre-teen son search for their missing daughter/sister at a desert rave, forming a bond with a gang of considerate, philosophical ravers. The film mutates from a study of makeshift family into a work dealing with primal instincts of human survival and the gods we create through what we worship.
