‘'Sahara. The Desert Boat' tells the story of a nurse from the Canary Islands who arrives in El Aaiún in 1970 with the intention of working temporarily in the local hospital.

However, her life changes radically when she falls in love with Yahadih, a young Sahrawi man who joins the Polisario Front in the fight for the independence of Western Sahara. Her relationship with Yahadih, marked by secrecy and war, makes her a witness to Spain's abandonment, Morocco's occupation, and the repression suffered by the Sahrawi people.

In 1991, while in the refugee camps, he receives a visit from Mercedes, a journalism student interested in documenting the conflict. Through their conversation, he relives his time in a territory marked by uncertainty, resistance, and loss.

With a mixture of love, betrayal and resistance, 'Sahara. The Desert Boat' is a human testimony about the personal transformation of a woman trapped between two worlds and the struggle of a free people who refuse to disappear.

‘'Sahara. The Desert Boat' in a co-production of the Pérez Galdós Theatre and unahoramenos productions.
