15 year-old Hulud has a dream; she is cracking the barrier set on the highway between the 1947 traditional Bedouin desert-life of a small Bedouin community and the 2007 modern city life of Beer-Sheba in the south of Israel. With her young brother and sister she goes on a journey that will enable her to let go of the life she once wished for.
