A spiritual journey into the highlands of Harar, immersed in the rituals of khat, a leaf Sufi Muslims chewed for centuries for religious meditations – and Ethiopia’s most lucrative cash crop today. A tapestry of intimate stories offers a window into the dreams of youth under a repressive regime.

[VdR] A journey that is at the same time hallucinatory and real about Ethiopian youth. Between the mythological fable and the fictionalized documentary, it creates a dreamy atmosphere, which refers to the khat, an addictive plant that is a escape from an apathetic existence. Youngers are torn between the fantasy of chewing khat and the dream of crossing the sea for a better life. Everything to escape from reality.
