Summary:
A beautiful Fulani girl, Sira, and her tribe cross the Sahelian desert to take refuge in her fiancé's village. In the middle of the journey, Sira sees the men of her tribe violently massacred. After being publicly humiliated by Sira, the leader of the group, Yere, decides to kidnap her and leaves her for dead in the desert. Sira then finds herself alone with her survival instinct. After days of wandering, the only water point she finds overlooks a terrorist camp. Between despair, survival and revenge, Sira decides to try everything to save her own life but also those of the young girls enslaved by these terrorists.
