Salt and Silk

75 min

Best for: falling asleep to a story

Laila arrives in Khiva to scatter her mother’s ashes, but a torn silk robe reveals hidden Persian embroidery and a route into the Kyzylkum. Guided by dyers, camel breeders and a silent driver, she follows old canal lines through salt, ruins and singing dunes, where grief begins to take the shape of a mystery.
