'The desert region of Errachidia (Morocco) suffers from recurrent periods of severe drought. A man is sent there to clear a system of underground water galleries earmarked for irrigating crops.

"The breathtaking landscapes of Western Sahara seem devoid of memory. Yet, the eyes of its people bear enduring signs of the tragedy that has marked their existence for decades. Through small details, fragments of a lasting conflict find their way to the screen. Masterfully shot, Galb’Echaouf is a hymn to the power of cinema to resist oblivion." Rebecca De Pas (Visions du Réel)
