Two men in the desert search for their "fragments of heaven". Mohamed is a nomad who lives with his family in a tent in the eastern Moroccan desert. Since this area is particularly rich in sky rocks (meteorite fragments), and since these are highly sought after by collectors, Mohamed spends his days searching for these rocks. At the same time, Abderrahmane, a renowned Moroccan scientist travels the same place in search of space debris that will allow him to better understand the origins of the Earth and life. Their paths never cross, it is cinema that brings them together.
Fragments from Heaven premiered at the Locarno Film Festival.
