"Last Party in R. Desert," written and directed by Mahmoud Sabbagh, follows Najm, a cash-driven local impresario who wanders the nightlife venues and junctions with his music troupe, in their struggle to stay afloat amid professional strife and a scene shift in contemporary Saudi Arabia. Najm, the heir to Kaka Al-Qamar, one of Jeddah's most renowned wedding singers, finds himself entangled in a drama of burnout and obsession that takes place over one long night filled with twists, turns, and disruptions.
