Rocks in a Windless Wadi

Original title: Kalmanting Batu-batu King Malanging Lambak A Alang Angin

Mysterious images shot around a wadi (a waterway in North Africa or the Middle East, often dried up), perceived as too calm by the filmmaker and his brother hence the “windless” of the title, are the setting for excerpts of audio conversations. In these, three men painfully describe their unmentionable traumas, which they have buried since childhood.
