Synopsis: Ashraf Idriss (Bakri), a foreigner, is hired by a rich couple to take care of their house while they travel. Meanwhile a heat wave is striking.
Review: The heat wave and water rationing make the movie look a bit like a post-apocalyptic one, as the director explained after presenting the movie at the NIFFF. In fact very little occurs, a few dead-end encounters and some long scenes just show us the slow descent of the main character into a light madness. The movie looks good and professional but it didn't talk to me at all, and I was not the only one given the small amount of applause at the end of the projection in spite of the presence of the director. In a slightly similar style (post-apo along the ocean), I liked better Évolution although it was also very slow.
Rating: 3 /10
