Timbuktu is silent. The women have become shadows. Religious fundamentalists are spreading terror in the region. In the dunes, away from the chaos, Kidane enjoys a quiet life with his family. His peace is short-lived: after accidentally killing a fisherman, Kidane must face the law of new rulers determined to defeat an open and tolerant Islam.
