Two Bedouins, a white woman and two heavily packed camels traveling by feet through the Sinai desert, A rough and impressively desolate area. They are entering a world of emptiness and silence. After days of exhaustion and heat the woman gets sick. The Bedouins prepare special tea for her and pray to Allah. Because of the limited amount of water, they have to go on. The days are passing by with a rhythm of walking, climbing mountains, pitch a camp, the daily talks between the Bedouins about food and the struggle of life… They are continually going on… forward, up! Atla!
