The loudest film yet — after seven episodes of cities and deserts and silence, they stumble into a night gathering in the Kingdom: an ardah, rows of men with swords moving in perfect unison to enormous drums. Abdullah gets pulled into the formation and disappears. Omar and Ali search the rows for him — and when they find him, he's not performing anymore. He's just moving with everyone else, grinning to himself, completely unaware anyone's watching. Ali raises the camera and decides not to press it. Episode 8 of HAJIMETE, a continuing anime series shot vertically in 25-second films, following a first journey across Saudi Arabia. Japanese audio. Subtitles in Arabic, English, Spanish and Turkish.
