Sirât

A dystopian road movie by Óliver Laxe. Starring Sergi López and Bruno Núñez. Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Now playing at the Zukunft cinema. 

A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a remote rave in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar, their daughter and sister, who disappeared months ago at one of these never-ending, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they keep showing her photo to everyone they meet. Hope is fading, but they refuse to give up the search and follow a group of ravers to one last party in the desert. The deeper they venture into the scorching wilderness, the more the journey forces them to confront their own limits.

With SIRÂT, the multi-award-winning director Oliver Laxe presents his most radical film to date. He leads his characters and the audience on a harrowing journey between life and death, between intoxication and revelation. A father searches the Moroccan desert for his missing daughter—and in the process discovers a deeper truth about himself. The film is a spiritual journey through pain, silence, and ecstasy, carried by hypnotic 16mm imagery and a driving soundtrack by Kangding Ray. SIRÂT is cinema as a borderline experience—raw, intense, and deeply human.
