为满足年迈教长死归其土的心愿,两名混混接下将遗体送返故乡的任务,在虔诚信仰者意外入队后,旅程更起了奇妙变化。宛如寻常公路电影开展剧情,融合非洲民间信仰及伊斯兰宗教观点的叙事,简约节制的剧情铺成,为这北非幽影漫行带来有如《路边野餐》般的诗意叙事。大胆的光影运用及穷山恶水的极低取景,让这部宛若非洲大陆式的西部电影,取材于宗教的角色设定,却又挣脱出死板的宗教论述,转入更为深层的关于信仰、心灵之探究,最终成就一出普世寓言。A caravan escorts an elderly and dying Sheikh through the Moroccan Atlas. His last wish is to be buried with his close ones. But death does not wait. The caravaners, fearful of the mountain, refuse to continue transporting the corpse. Saïd and Ahmed, two rogues traveling with the caravan, say they know the way and promise to take the corpse to its destiny. In another world, Shakib is chosen to travel to the mountains with a mission: to help the improvised caravaners.
