And in the end,
only good ears of real fans can recognize 7 seconds of
Ofra's voice from song Slave dream (Desert Wind 1989)
that was used in this exquisite film -
the first feature ever to come out of Yemen.

I loved the movie. I can't wait to see more from Yemen. And I have never heard of nagsh, I am from Palestine. Well good luck.
