The Sand Castle

Storyline

Fleeing a contemporary war zone in the Middle East as entire cities collapse and borders vanish overnight, a family's desperate escape ends in catastrophe when they become stranded on a remote, uninhabited island with almost no resources. Cut off from the world they fled, and from any world that might save them, they are crushed by heat, thirst and hunger, forced to rebuild a fragile version of home from routine, memory and denial.
