Millet focuses his gaze on everyday life, on a story of the intimate, where a strong sense of union arises based on the pillar of the family, which sustains fields whose inhabitants live their lives in a waiting rhythm. In this way, the Sahrawi people reinforce their identity, forging, day by day, through their values, a feeling of belonging, trying to blur the scars that cross their souls, giving way to a crack through which a small light.

What happens to the perception of time in a place where the future is uncertain and the only thing that makes you get up and keep fighting is the hope of liberation?

The Saharawi culture is drowned in a desert without spatial limits but limited in resources. In this inhospitable place, real and metaphorical desert, games and laughter spring up, in an apparently barren land where buds that are waiting to emerge are hidden. Its inhabitants rise up to rebel against the condemnation of oblivion, against the days not lived, against the empty time, against the desolation. They shout in a harsh voice that they still have the strength to continue fighting.
