A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar -- daughter and sister -- who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.

Critics Consensus

A brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination, Sirât is an unforgettable exercise in tension that wallops its audience like a deafening blast of bass to the face.

This is a piece of extraordinarily visceral film-making by Laxe.

So intense you’ll want to scarper but so riveting you can’t leave, Sirāt is an assault on the senses, mind and emotions. If only all movies took swings this bold.

The midway point tragedy lost me and I found the final act... more absurd than absurdist.

Imagine the 1950s-era French masterwork "The Wages of Fear" with a wicked house beat.

Powerful, heartbreaking, and visceral, Sirât shocks as deeply as it resonates on an existential level. It leaves you reeling in its wake, stirring something profound at your core.

Watching it is akin what I suspect most actual raves are like—it is fascinating for a little but after a while, all that you will want to do is just bail on it and go home.

Sirat is a wild ride of a film. It's intense and visceral. The last 30 or 40 minutes will have you holding your breath in anticipation. Luis, along with his son Esteban, is searching Morocco for his lost daughter who hasn't been seen for 5 months. She was attending a rave in the Moroccan desert and that's where we find Luis. They have no luck but are told she could be attending another rave deeper into the desert. So, they set off in their small van in search of her. They follow two trucks carrying other rave goers and it becomes a tough and unrelenting journey into dangerous territory that is also beset by civil war. It amkes for a wild adventure, where surprises exiast around every corner. Sergi Lopez is great as Luis, but the rest of the cast is mostly unknown, pulled from rave culture. As said, the final third of the film is full of shock and awe. It's hard to describe the feeling, but you will be shocked at what occurs. This is definitely a film to experience.
