Halfmoon takes three stories by legendary writer Paul Bowles (The Sheltering Sky) and brings their mystery, passion and exotic landscape intact to the screen. MERKALA BEACH is about two young Moroccan men whose friendship is tested by a seductively beautiful woman. CALL AT CORAZON joins a honeymooning American couple as they travel up the Amazon, and ALLAL chronicles a young Arab boy's spiritual exchange with a poisonous cobra in a surreal and supernatural ritual. Bowles himself introduces the stories and provide insightful commentary on each. Like his classic novel The Sheltering Sky, Halfmoon captures a unique and exotic realm of landscape and mind.
