Sinopsis / Synopsis:
Along the San Andreas fault line in Southern California,
Indigenous palm trees and date palms imported from the
Middle East flourish. The people who tend to them reflect a
landscape of frictions and affections shaped over generations
by agriculture, luxury real estate, and border politics. Like
the infinity storytelling of The 1001 Nights, stories fold into
dreams and back into stories, a constellation of voices settle
over mountains and into the earth.
