Sinekatalog’s take

A young woman back home in her sultanate after studying abroad nurses a lost love while waiting on a new moon's promise. Lyrical and richly rooted in local ritual, it is gently paced. For viewers who appreciate West African romantic dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
