The film shows the life of women in a tent camp on the edge of the Sahara. An old nomad woman and her daughter from the city argue about happiness - where do you find happiness, in the desert or city. Women and men in open dispute about love, suffering and passion. In an amazing way, something of the self-confidence, independence and courage of these daughters of the sand becomes palpable.
