The film revolves around the life of a scorpion-singer named Nooran (Farahani), who learns the tricks of the old trade from her grandmother, Zubeidaa (Rehman).
A camel trader named Aadam (Irrfan) falls in love with her.
The trailer, lasting 1:41 minutes, gives away the last lure of Irrfan's unavoidable poetic and painful gaze.
We will miss him and his presence sorely!

Nooran hails from a Rajasthani sect of people specializing in scorpion-singing, the art of rendering scorpion venom useless inside the human body by singing to them.
She needs to learn the trick from her grandmother but is traumatized after a man violated her.
Her beauty grabs the attention of camel trader Aadam, who is well aware of the stigma associated with the practice.

Nooran can't ignore Aadam's charm but is torn between her past and present as she can't find music within her.
The trailer shows her running away from her place, but ends with Irrfan's Aadam being resolute about following Nooran across the desert in order to find love and ultimate solace.
The film had premiered at 70th Locarno Film Festival, Switzerland, in August 2017.
