Adama: The World of Wind

Recounted mostly through animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his past as a child refugee from Afghanistan as he grapples with a secret he’s kept hidden for 20 years.

A flight over the desert leads to a highway; at its center, a dazzling, yellow line. Tirelessly they paint and repaint the line.

Chesa, a young girl, can predict earthquakes. After one of them weakens her village, she leaves to seek help from her grandmother who lives as a hermit in the mountains. Along the way, she travels through a world where the tremors are multiplying. As she searches for the origins of her power, Chesa discovers that the earth is shaking because of the Dark Teeth, a landless people who feed on anthracite. Driven by their ever-increasing hunger, they dig into the earth and accelerate continental drift.
