Tahar is a 20-year-old Sahrawi young man who lives in the Basque Country. His family is still in the Tindouf refugee camp. One day he receives a call: his father is dying. Tahar returns and faces his past, his wounds and his memories.

The Saharawi women face the thirst of the hamada, the curse of the desert, every day. They've built their refuge in a land where no one could survive before. For more than forty years they've been holding out and taking care of their people there. They ensure every drop of water is distributed according to the needs of each family - and they wait. But there's an even more terrible thirst in their throats, for which they find no relief.
