An exploration of unknown life in ten deserts around the world. A documentary built out of negligence, misunderstanding, surprise, and mutual amazement; a film that reflects on the idea of community and the relationship between man and his environment: a relationship in which nature, beasts, and human beings depend on each other to continue inhabiting a world that is supposed to be barren.

It is not about powerful journalists, it is about invisible reporters that represent the weakest links of the news network's chain and now are living in an immigration limbo.
