In 1978, in the south of Oman, Dablan, a widower lives with his children Salma and Amr in a traditional rural village. In a region where leopards are seen as the ultimate test of a hunter’s mettle, Dablan faces pressure from his tribe to kill one that is threatening the village—pressure that only increases when he resolves to set the animal free. A contemplative and affectionate depiction of a tribal society as it adapts to a new world.
