Ässhäk - Geschichten aus der Sahara

Schweiz Deutschland Niederlande 2002/2003 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Aesshaek, Tales from the Sahara

The eagerly awaited second feature from the director of Saltmen of Tibet explores the lives of the desert Tuaregs with a similar natural intimacy and breath-taking imagery. One man′s search for his lost camel becomes the narrative thread.

 

The Tuareg Noehi travels through different landscapes, meets different characters: a Marabout at his hidden mosque, a young girl awakening to become a Targia, a radiant and strong Turaeg woman. His journey is also used to evoke the Tuareg myth of a city of wonders beyond the dunes, and in his sleep he dreams of the animals that once lived in the desert and have now disappeared.
