Synopsis:
In the heart of the desert, a Bedouin tribe survives thanks to the water of an ancient well. But after a long drought, the well runs dry. The tribe is torn between staying, clinging to the land and its memories, or leaving in search of water and survival.
The tribe scatters and the paths diverge, yet the years reveal that neither distance nor hardship can break the bonds of blood or erase deeply held values.
In the end, they all come to realize that the bonds of love and the power of shared values outweigh even the instinct to survive.
