Clips of the Tuaregs, a nomadic people of the Sahara. Shot of a man wearing a turban and veil. He is sitting by a tent. Camera pans to tent where a cloaked woman watches another woman using a cup to scoop milk from a bowl into a leather bag. The woman blows air into the bag, ties it shut and shakes it. She carries the bag to another tent and pours the milk into a bowl in front of another woman. Shot of people and donkeys gathered around well and watering hole. A man slaps two donkey’s backsides with a stick. The donkies run, pulling a rope that hoists a large bag of water from a well. A man dumps the water into a pit (lined with some sort of cement-like material) in front of a donkey. Another man fills a bag in the watering hole and carries it away. Shot of a woman dismantling a tent.
