Sara boldly stares Daniel in the eyes before turning around and unzipping the dress he bought for her. She shimmies out of the garment and holds it out to him, but lets the dress fall before he can grab it. She walks away, unapologetic. After being ostracized by her family, she is used to people not accepting her for who she is, but it stings more from the man she loves. Daniel picks up the dress and leaves, quietly simmering. With a brutality scandal causing his police career to crumble and his family to distance themselves from him, Daniel felt that Sara—the woman he had been talking long-distance with for months—was the only consistency in his life. But their first meeting did not go at all how he planned, and every interaction since has caused him to question if he knows her at all. And yet, he is drawn to her. PRIVATE DESERT is a delicately crafted film that proves love can be found if we can move beyond our assumptions. —J.H.
