Laila journeys deep into the Sahara Desert to delve into her early memories of growing up as a daughter of anthropologist parents who were studying the Tuareg nomads in Algeria. The family left after a tragedy during the 1990 Tuareg revolution. Carrying the emotional devastation over many years, Laila returns to the desert accompanied by the nomads and her beloved camel, Anarani. Through the magical voices of the desert, the ceremonial shai tea, her guide Go'at, the Tuareg, and Anarani, Laila seeks to quench the longing that courses within.
