Jaima

Partner: Locarno – Pardi di domani

Amid the dunes of the Sahara, a Jaima, the traditional Saharawi tent. A woman, through the tea ritual, takes us into the past and present of her people, persecuted and driven out of their land. She offers us three teas: the first, bitter as life; the second, sweet as love; the third, mild as death.
