PROJECT DESCRIPTION

An intimate portrait of three generations of a Bedouin family, and its struggle to hold on to its traditional life under the pressures of urbanization. Their only wish is to stay together, with their loyal yet eccentric pet sheep, Badrya, firmly by their side. Now, the life of the still-singing family is about to change as the construction of new buildings and the steady encroachment of the city challenges their way of life.
