The story of a blind dervish named Bab'Aziz and his spirited granddaughter, Ishtar. Together they wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes that takes place just once every thirty years. With faith as their only guide, the two journey for days through the expansive, barren landscape.

lullaby. lulled me to sleep at times.
“when i watch films by hou hsiao-hsien, edward yang or tsai ming-liang, i always fall asleep. years later, my films put audiences to sleep. i think maybe there's a special power to these films that takes viewers to a different world, a different state of relaxation, where we can leave ourselves behind. film transports us to a dream world then as we wake up, we're still there, almost like a unique voyage.”
