While their parents graze their sheep far from the town, Adikeer stays at a boarding school in town and his older brother, Bartel, lives with their grandfather, a sheep herder from the Buddhist Yugur ethnic minority. When their father fails to pick them up for summer break and their grandfather dies suddenly, the two brothers embark on a journey with their camels across the vast, dry expanse of western China alone, in search of their father, by following the path of a dried-up river bed.
