Synopsis
A spiritual journey into the highlands of Harar and the history of khat, a leaf Sufi Muslims chewed for centuries for religious meditations and that has become Ethiopia’s most lucrative cash crop today. The film is a tapestry of intimate stories offering a window into the dreams of youth living under a repressive regime.
