Synopsis:
Alsemberg, Belgium, 1975. Eight year-old Sarah, an orphan in a Catholic institution, receives a visit from her biological father. He claims he’s treating her to a weekend in Paris, but ends up drugging and kidnapping her to a small village in the far reaches of Morocco. The treacherous father soon abandons the family and Sarah is left pining away for civilization-there’s no schooling available other than learning the loom.
