In the dunes of the Sahara, a Jaima, the traditional Saharawi tent. Through the tea ritual, a woman takes us into the past and present of her people, persecuted and driven from their land. There are three teas she offers us: the first, bitter as life; the second, sweet as love; the third, sweet as death. Each tea tells us a story.

Tra le dune del Sahara, una Jaima, la tradizionale tenda dei Saharawi. Una donna, attraverso il rito del tè ci fa entrare nel passato e nel presente del suo popolo, perseguitato e cacciato dalla propria terra. Sono tre i tè che ci offre: il primo, amaro come la vita; il secondo, dolce come l’amore; il terzo, soave come la morte. Ogni tè ci racconta una storia.
