Synopsis

This is a very personal documentary filled with humour and emotion. Spurred by the suicide of his beloved brother and death of his alcoholic mother, filmmaker Sami Martin Saif goes in pursuit of the father who abandoned him as a small child. The filmmaker’s journey takes him to Yemen, where he is united with his elder brother from his father’s first marriage. Complete with endless sky-scapes filled with plumes of cloud, a metaphor for Sami’s changing attitude to life in a new culture for which he feels a strange and unexplained affinity, this film is a rare treat.
