Desert Flower

FAQ

Why is the movie called «Desert Flower»? I'd love this question to be answered on different levels:a) Is it explained in the film itself?b) Is the expression «desert flower» a fix expression? In arabic for example or in an african dialect? What is it's full meaning?c) What is the connection to real desert flowers? They are on one side very beautiful in a spot that rarely sees plants growing I understand (positive) but they also faint extremely quickly (negative). Is there a special plant connected to that expression or a fossilization and is there a connection somehow to the movie?d) Are ther cultural references to that expression (e.g. poems with the same title or key word) and hints of the film to those references?
