Brief synopsis
From the south of Morocco, the Sahara extends more than a thousand kilometers into Mauritania. Although this desert is extremely hostile to life, it has for centuries been home to camel herders who travel through this landscape with their animals. The documentary tells of the hard everyday life of these shepherds, of their love for the animals and of a life that will soon no longer exist.
