Synopsis
In 1860, the Algerian Sahara is coveted by the colonial powers of the time, who dream of it as a rich land full of promise. Expeditions and ambitions of conquest, however, have all been destroyed by this uncharted and mysterious terrain. Nevertheless, there are men who rise above turf wars, and who believe in the power of this mystical land to establish a society that is out of the ordinary. But greedy people circle like vultures, and are turning this utopian dream into a tragedy.
