Ali and His Miracle Sheep
Synopsis
Guided by his grandmother’s haunting Sumerian lament, we follow 9-year-old mute Ali as he takes his favourite sheep for sacrifice. Over this perilous journey they bear witness to the beauty and unravel the ills of Iraq but can they cure them with a sacrifice? A lyrical coming-of-age story.
