In the near future, Samaa, a desert dweller, gets lost in the vastness of the sands and finds refuge in one of the few surviving trees. This is the beginning of a real rebirth for the young girl, the genesis of her awareness, through the discovery of insects, of the role of water and of trees as sources of life. Without moralizing, Samaa will dismantle her own convictions and accept that she was mistaken in her vision of the world. A literary, educational and political tour de force.
