Plot

Two men travel through the desert in Northern Africa in the covered truck of a smuggler. When the truck stops, they are ambushed and only one narrowly escapes from being captured. He is separated from the other and has to take refuge in the desert, and eventually finds his way alone to a city on the Mediterranean. He gathers materials and sets off across the sea alone in a small boat, and arrives in a deep forest. He navigates the challenges presented by this mysterious and seemingly endless wood, accompanied by a silent old man, and comes to live in a simple and natural manner. [3][4][5]
