About
After publishing a book about a boy raised by ostriches, fourteen-year-old Sun is invited to the Sahara and meets nomadic girl Kharouba.
Fourteen-year-old Sun has published a book inspired by a bedtime story her late grandfather told her. It recounts the legend of Hadara, a boy separated from his family during a sandstorm in the Sahara and saved by a group of ostriches. He grows up among the desert's wild animals, with a young desert fox as his closest companion. Neige de Maistre plays Sun.
When a local community that has heard about her book invites Sun to travel to the Sahara, she meets Kharouba, a nomadic girl of her own age. Kev Adams plays Christian.
