……A desert café on the eve of a Western invasion into the heart of the Middle East. A massive sandstorm approaches, the café-goers prepare for the worst……then a British visitor comes through the door………
No one is as they seem………
There’s the Devil…………
The Wrath of God………
A future Prophet………
A mad ghost woman………
And a couple of foolish intellectuals………
The battle between good and evil is played out in an epic tale of cultures clashing………told in myth, realism, horror and humour……using Greek and Biblical traditions………
