Set in the 1950s in what is today Dubai, "The Sand Fish" is the story of a young woman from the mountains who is sent away from her family to become the third wife of a rich and much older pearl merchant.
Seventeen-year-old Noora is not like the other women of the sun-battered mountains of the Arabian Peninsula in the 1950s. With the death of her mother, her father sinks into a dazed madness. That's when her brother assumes responsibility and insists that she marry. Noora refuses, and flees to a nearby mountain village.
