SYNOPSIS

Down at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, in the first desert in the world, the immeasurable Namib stores the memories of all those who have ever crossed it. The desert sand covers the evidence of history, the art of survival, the resistance, but also the horrors of destruction. From time to time, as if the memory didn’t want to be forgotten, the wind releases these things again through the voice of the great Namibian spoken-word artist: Nesindano Namises (AKA: Xam Khoes).
