Sakher, a quiet 13-year-old boy in a dusty highway town near Petra, shares a cramped home with his father, grandmother and younger siblings. After his mother’s death, his grandmother Badriya becomes his primary caregiver. To make ends meet, his father Adel buys a camel to sell its milk. Sakher becomes its caretaker and forms a profound bond with the creature. For a while, the plan works. But when the camel’s milk dries up, Adel, desperate, decides to butcher it. Unwilling to let the camel die, Sakher steals it with his best friend Nawaf. The boys drive across the desert to return it to its child. On the journey, they face challenges that test their friendship and courage. At the farm, their plan succeeds, and Sakher returns with money; the camel produces milk again.
