What starts out as a romantic adventure turns into a big mess for a Swiss couple when their truck dies in the middle of the desert on the way to Timbuktu. Soon their relationship is in tatters, as they sit stranded in an oasis where he tinkers endlessly with the broken-down vehicle and she goes in search of Saïd's Taxiphone in the town's center.

This Algerian-Swiss coproduction shines with authentic images and a calm tempo. A quiet respite from the usual hectic cinematic fare.
