“Where’s the party?” The Match Factory & Movistar Plus+ have debuted the first official festival trailer for the film titled Sirat, the latest from Spanish-French filmmaker Óliver Laxe as his fourth feature. The Spain-produced film is included in the 2025 Cannes Film Festival official selection as one of the key films in the prestigious Main Competition. Premiering in jut a few weeks. After his daughter disappears at a rave, a father travels to Morocco up into the mountains with his son to search for her. She has been missing for months and they travel into the rave scene in hopes of finding her. Starring Sergi López & Bruno Núñez as the father & son. The title is most likely a reference to this (it all lines up): In Islam, “sirat” refers to a narrow bridge spanning the chasm of Hell, which believers are said to cross on the Day of Judgment. It’s also a broader concept representing the “straight path” of righteousness and guidance, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. There’s even more rave footage in this trailer compared to the teaser. And it looks damn good – a harrowing journey into the dusty hell of the desert to find his missing daughter. Where did she go?

Here’s the official promo trailer for Óliver Laxe’s film Sirat, direct from The Match Factory’s YouTube:

The screenplay is written by Óliver Laxe and Santiago Fillol. A Spanish movie – it’s produced by Movistar Plus+, El Deseo, Filmes Da Ermida, Uri Films, and 4A4 Productions.
