Set in Haroun's native Chad, the sensuous Abouna begins with the striking image of a man in Western dress crossing a desert in the Southern Sahara. The man, who pauses briefly to powerfully stare down the camera lens, is the father of 15 year-old Tahir (Ahidjo Mahamat Moussa) and Tahir's eight-year-old brother Amine (Hamza Moctar Aguid). After being told by their beautiful mother (Zara Haroun) that he has left them, the two brothers undertake a momentous journey in an attempt to fill the void left by his absence.
