He shows her photo around and manages to inspire some pity in a small group of ravers, who tell him there is a second rave planned even deeper in the desert, close to Mauritania. Against their advice, Luis and Esteban follow the group into the desert, slowly becoming closer as a group until unimaginable tragedy strikes.
If I had to count all the ways this movie wasn't for me, we'd be here all day. It's well-made. That's about all the praise I can spare. I hated the music. I don't like house, techno, EDM, or trance. I don't like concerts or live music, really, at all so the idea of going to the middle of nowhere to hear super-loud repetitive music gives me a full-body shudder. I got the found family thing. I got the "trial by faith" thing. It wasn't enough to make me like the movie.
However, a lot of people really do like it and maybe you'll be one of them. It's currently not available for streaming so fire up that VPN.
