Synopsis


From acclaimed filmmaker Óliver Laxe comes SIRĀT, an electrifying road thriller that has captivated audiences and critics alike. Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards, the film delivers a cinematic experience that is as sonically explosive as it is emotionally shattering. With striking originality and vivid, elemental visuals, Laxe crafts a work of relentless intensity and haunting beauty. Set against the vast, unforgiving landscapes of North Africa, the story follows a father traveling with his young son in a desperate search for his missing daughter. As they journey across remote terrains and through unfamiliar communities, each mile deepens the mystery surrounding her disappearance. The barren expanses and throbbing soundscape heighten the tension, transforming the search into a nerve-shredding odyssey. Pulsing with hair-raising ferocity, SIRĀT balances intimate human drama with edge-of-your-seat suspense. The father and son’s bond is tested by grief, uncertainty, and the psychological toll of their quest, while the surrounding world feels both breathtaking and perilous. The result is an unforgettable cinematic experience; raw, immersive, and resonant long after the final frame.

Reviews


This is original, explosive (literally — you’ll see!) and ovation-worthy, cinema.

The Times (UK)

Sirât is a truly staggering and major film, one that has to be seen to be believed.

Little White Lies

Its title refers to the mythical Islamic bridge across hell, on which one false step leads to damnation. The path trodden by the film itself is no less risky, but it styles out the crossing astonishingly.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

An unforgettable portrait of the search for unity at the edge, and end, of the world.

The Daily Beast
