In a dystopian present, it hasn’t rained in Rome for three years and a series of characters must cope with the drought that has reduced water reserves to a minimum and with an epidemic of sleeping sickness carried by cockroaches. The lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalized and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.
The film program NAAS is a collaboration of several cultural institutions in the UAE: the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region, the Embassy of France in the United Arab Emirates, the Embassy of Canada to the United Arab Emirates, the Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi, the Austrian Embassy Abu Dhabi, the Embassy of Switzerland to the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain and in partnership with Manarat Al Saadiyat.
We look forward to welcoming you!
