Synopsis

Set in a confined world outside time, East of Noon is
the fable of prodigy ABDO (19) who uses music to
rebel against his elders: showman SHAWKY (70), an
eccentric showman who rules with a mix of
performance and fear, and storyteller JALALA (75),
who provides relief with stories of the Sea, which no
one else has seen. East of Noon is a satire on the inner
workings of an ailing autocracy and its inherent
vulnerability to youth's unchained vision of a better
world.
