On the run from the police after a student riot escalates into violence, anarchist dissident Mark goes on the run, steals a private plane and flies off into the Californian desert. There, he meets Daria —a young woman driving through the expanse on the way to meet a real estate executive with grand ideas of building a resort amidst the sands. The pair join up and head on a journey of revelation in Death Valley.

The short film "People of the Po Valley" will be presented together with the screenings of the film "Zabriskie Point".
