Summary
This is a film about one of the driest countries on earth. Filmed in the deserts of Namibia where the temperature goes up to 110 degrees, it shows the harshness of life in this isolated but magnificent area.Water is one of the paramount issues of the next century. The people we meet in this film bring this problem to life. Unemployed Suro sees herself as a modern woman and dreams of having a swimming pool. Hermanus, with a small business and his roots in the desert tribe of Topnaars, sees opportunities in the bareness of the drought. The rainmaker, Werner, looks to the past when things were better. The goat farmer Thimoteus knows exactly when the happiest day of his life occurred: it was Monday, February 6th, last year when the rain fell for a whole day.
