Hot sand everywhere you look - the Namib is the world's oldest desert and one of the most hostile. But even here, in a valley called Hoanib, there is life! Some animals have evolved unique ways to adapt to the harsh life in such an arid area. The largest of these are desert elephants! To survive in the Namibian desert, they must travel long distances, full of deprivation. Only the alpha cow Clarissa knows where to find the rare water sources. Food is scarce and the heat unbearable, for the young Mayans, the next source of water could already come too late. The old bull One Tusk faces an even harsher fate: he is too old and too weak to join his family's migration. While even tough jackals leave the Hoanib Valley during the dry season to search for food along the coast, One Tusk remains alone, hoping that soon the rain will bring salvation.
