Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A sweepingly visual, intimately poetic film set against the tapestry of Saudi Arabia's extraordinary textures. THE LAMB is a hero's journey which tests the boundaries of family and tradition, along with the constitution of Faisal, an extraordinary young boy, who goes on a quest to save the soul he loves most in the world: his lamb.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
