ABOUT THE FILM

Fragments from Heaven tells the story of Mohamed, a nomad who lives in a remote area of the eastern Moroccan desert. To provide a better life for his family, Mohamed embarks on a search for the meteorite fragments. But he is not the only one looking for the celestial stones. This story is also that of Abderrahmane, a scientist who relies on the meteorite fragments to pursue his research on the origins of Earth and life on this planet. While one explorer is grounded to the earth, the other looks to the sky.
