Summary:
This film is food for thought about what we really know. It's about the existence of an invisible work of art. In fact, this is false: it IS visible. However, you've never seen it, because it's been in the Sahara Desert since 2017. At least, we believe that, because nobody knows what has happened to it since its installation. "The Desert" tells of the twisted circumstances in which this object ended up in the desert (the arid and little-known space). In the process, the film humorously touches on the greatest secrets about objects, mirages and the outskirts of reality.
