Argumento
Eleven bus-passengers find themselves stranded in an abandoned town of the Namibian desert due to a sandstorm. As days pass and rescue seems unlikely, they decide to stage Shakespeare's 'King Lear' as a means to keep their spirits high. However, the choice of play only serves to exacerbate tensions among the group, reflecting their own moral conflicts and anxieties.
