The Black Veil

In a framework of fantasy and suspense, the work follows the story of the highwayman (Sari) and (Amira) during their journey in search of a legendary treasure in the imaginary Sakhima Valley, where they encounter mythical monsters, in addition to the complex personal relationship between them.

Out in the beautiful quiet of the desert, a man teaches his young sons how to track and hunt. Frustration leads to an apparently harmless struggle between the two brothers – but their carelessness brings about sudden disaster. Qatari filmmaker A.J. Al Thani’s film strikes just the right balance of calm and calamity, adolescence and adulthood, knowhow and panic to tell a seemingly simple story with a sense of gravity that will echo with anyone who has seen an innocent plan go horribly wrong.
