Synopsis

Songs are the oil that makes dreams flow, the water that makes them germinate. Because of this, Rokia loves more than anything to listen to her grandfather Matuké and sing along with him. And it is for this reason that the Prince of the City of Sands, who blots out the dreams of men with sand and collects their souls, hates the storytellers. This is the song of Rokia, the girl with the enchanting voice. The girl who will cross the desert to recover the soul that the Prince of the City of Sands has stollen from Matuké, the great storyteller. Let us hear it through to the end.
