Solar Noon

In North Africa, between the end of the Atlas Mountains and the Saharan platform, a dry lake separates the Mashreq (east) from the Maghreb (west). Against all expectations, this is a landscape in perpetual change. Solar Noon reinvents its coordinates, grafting fragments of stories onto it in the form of tableaux vivants where different beliefs, symbols and rituals intersect in a composite imaginary perspective. The film shifts the reality of the desert into that of myth, exploring its layers of stories and revealing buried memories. Determined by the sun, Solar Noon composes with its zenith.
