A Qatari woman travels on an environmental expedition to Antarctica in search for hope, before returning to the Arabian Gulf to find unity and inspiration for positive change.
The story of ‘Places Of The Soul’ begins in Ushuaia, Argentina and follows an environmental expedition to Antarctica, exploring the dreams of individuals to contribute positively to their communities. The journey continues to the Arabian Gulf, in search of inspiring characters who are working toward environmental change. Antarctica serves as a beautiful reminder of what we once were, and contrasts with the rich cultural tapestry of the Gulf, specifically Qatar, and those who are united in their passionate dedication to sustainability and hope for our future. At the heart of the film is the juxtaposition of two deserts: Antarctica and Arabia; ice and sand.
