Barren
4.5
Yahya, a man with a mysterious past, sets off into the desert and wilderness with a car that serves as his home, continuing his life by cutting and selling the hair of impoverished women and girls. Until he meets a clever 15-year-old girl whose stepfather intended to sell her, but she escapes by secretly getting into Yahya's car. This encounter leads Yahya to start a new phase of trying to forget and deny his past, as everything is set to change with the presence of this girl.
