Khoekhoegowab, English with English & German subtitles
In the middle of the Namibian wasteland, on former German colonial soil. Unsecured, dangerous tunnels lead deep into a monolithic mountain. Major, Esmeralda and Peter work in illegal mines, searching for gemstones. This Sisyphean task brings little financial reward, and yet the workers risk their lives day after day in pursuit of it. The group is trapped in a microcosm, their dreams buried in the dust.
