Zodi, a 12-year-old nomad, meets an orphaned baby camel in the desert. After rescuing it, feeding it, and calling it Téhu, Zodi becomes Téhu’s best friend. Zodi finds out through Julia, a veterinary, that Téhu is an outstanding runner and that he could bring a lot of money to Zodi’s tribe. But the camel’s exceptional abilities whet the appetite of Tarek, a poacher from the region. To prevent Téhu from being captured and sold, Zodi decides to run away and cross the Sahara on Téhu’s back. During his journey, Zodi will face Tarek, survive a sandstorm, and cross the salt sea, hoping to eventually manage to register Téhu to the world’s biggest Camel race in Abu Dhabi. With Julia’s help, Zodi will try everything to fulfill his dreams of making Téhu a champion and saving his tribe.
