Mimosas (2016)

Suffice it to say I didn't get it. It's very pretty to look at the expansive landscape shots. I often lost the tiny characters on the backdrop of sand and rock. The film is divided in 3 acts, the first sets the scene and is coherent. We are dropped in two different Moroccan scenes: a city and the mountains, and we are unsure how the two will come together. But there is enough there to piece it together. But once the second act begins, it loses all coherence. It was unclear to me what drives these characters? Without fully understanding their motivations, it was hard to decipher what they were even doing. Not to mention the very slow pace. And why is it called Mimosas?
