A Calling . From The Desert . To The Sea
Synopsis
Fearing that her younger sister will be wed off just like she was, Ahlam lures Yasmin to run away with her by telling her a story of a mythical sea that lies beyond the desolate desert and its mountains. Yasmin's childish curiosity overturns her father's apprehension and his warnings of the monster that resides beyond the borders of their house. In search of this mystical sea, the two sisters journey away far from their home, predetermined fate and secluded life with their father. Along the way, young Yasmin is forced to face her inner demons and further her understanding of the world she lives in.
