Synopsis
Born to a Sahrawi family in a Saharan refugee camp in Algeria, Fatimetu was later sent to live with foster parents in Spain. When her mother passes away, she returns to the camp as a sixteen-year-old. Her brother expects her to stay and look after their sister who has a disability. Because Fatimetu can drive, unlike other women in the community, she finds work transporting animals, meat and bread from one district to another. Soon, the Sahrawi people become accustomed to the woman who roams the desert without a hijab in her beaten up jeep. But Fatimetu is torn between life in the desert and the world she left behind in Spain.
