SYNOPSIS
"Leïla, the director of the film, embarks on a journey across the Algerian Sahara in search of Tin Hinan, the ancestral Berber queen of the Tuareg people. Accompanied by her mother on this adventure, Leïla crosses paths with Fatimata and her six-year-old daughter Lella, the last representatives of a nomadic way of life that is disappearing. A personal, familial, and sisterly story that explores themes of transmission, mother-daughter relationships, and the traditions of a people and way of life that are struggling to withstand modernity.
