On one hand, there’s the desert eating the land. On the other there’s war. The village well has run dry. Trusting their instinct, most of the villagers leave and head south. Rahne, the only literate one, is heading east with his three children and Mouna, his wife. A few sheep, some goats and a dromedary, are their only riches. They’re traveling through hostile lands, under a lethal sun. A tale of exodus, hope and fatality, but also of determination and eternity, as it takes us in the footsteps of Shasha, a nomad child full of the joys of life, whose tenacity and strength will conquer her father’s love.
