Thirst

Synopsis

In the struggle of daily existence, the thirst for love may be greater than that for life itself.

A couple and their teen-aged son eke out a living on a hilltop, doing the laundry for local hotels, despite the intermittent water supply. Their simple life is overturned by the arrival of a father-and-daughter team of diviner and well-digger, who promise to bring an end to this precarious existence by finding a well on their arid hill. But ultimately, these newcomers quench a thirst that is much stronger than that for mere water.

Cast & Crew

Director's comment

THIRST is an intimate, lived-through, auto-biographical film.

THIRST is a film about the kind of love that comes upon us when we least expect it. About the kind of love that knows no boundaries. About the kind of love, for which there is no “convenient” age or time. About the kind of love that can turn you into a murderer. About the kind of love that is more powerful than death. About the kind of love that forces us to remain human.
