Ma’rib is 150km east of Sana’a where the Yemeni mountains meet the Rhub al-Khali desert.
Here, 4,000 diesel pumps irrigate the oasis nearby and a new power station will soon supply the capital with electricity. With no dialogue or narration, this lyrical film explores the habits, rhythms and gestures of an arid region in a rugged country – a combination of sociological observation and sudden poetry.
