A sweepingly visual, intimately poetic film set against the tapestry of Saudi Arabia's extraordinary textures. THE LAMB is a hero's journey which tests the boundaries of family and tradition, along with the constitution of Faisal, an extraordinary young boy, who goes on a quest to save the soul he loves most in the world: his lamb.
Inspired by a true event, the film tells the story of a Saudi Tornado aircraft that suffered a sudden technical failure while returning from an operational mission on January 7, 2018. In the heart of the combat zone, as risks escalate, a search and rescue operation is launched to save the crew—a mission that embodies courage and dedication.
Cultural attitudes towards beauty standards are exhaustively unpacked in this delirious satire, about how hair dictates the social mobility of a put-upon caretaker and her intellectually challenged ward.
