Description:

Laila, an immigrant to Canada of Arabic origin, lives a three-dimensional love story. In addition to her, its heroes are Sami, a scenarist who newly immigrated to Canada, and who writes Laila's story; and Jad, Laila's old flame whom she left behind in her country of origin, but whose love never abandoned her. Laila searches for salvation in a nearby field she uses for meditation, and which she transforms into a temple to practice rituals of love, sex, and spiritualizing. She awakens from her illusions with the departure of Sami and his wife from town, and discovers that the Other we lust for is merely a dream that we all live, in the hope of it becoming a reality one day. <75mn>
