Opis

In a tale of longing, Laila journeys deep into the Sahara Desert accompanied by the Tuareg nomads and her beloved camel companion, Anarani. She returns delving into her early memories of growing up as a daughter of anthropologist parents who were studying the Tuareg nomads in Algeria. After a tragedy strikes during the 1990 Tuareg revolution, the family leaves broken. Carrying the emotional devastation over many years, Laila feels a thirst to go back into the vast landscape that mirrors the struggles of her inner landscape. Through the magical voices of the desert, the ceremonial shai tea, her guide, Go'at, the Tuareg, and Anarani, Laila seeks to quench the longing that courses within. The Rhythm of the Soul weaves a story steeped in cultural anthropology, Tuareg history, and magical surrealism. It delivers a rich tapestry of inner and outer journeying into the mysteries of being, mirroring what we all long for: belonging.
