A shepherdess and her herd of goats go about their daily life in the desert. High above a vulture casts an ominous shadow as the flock slowly succumbs to the drought. A distant city on the horizon promises salvation. The shepherdess drives her goats straight into it, only to be plunged into despair with the loss of her shepherdess staff and the consequent dispersion of her herd into the spoils of the city. Her only remaining goat, Hubeiza, accompanies her through this dark void attempting to reassemble the herd to emerge once again into the warmth of the burning desert sun.
