In the Libyan city of Ghadames, Malika watches her merchant father depart on one of his caravan expeditions. She too yearns to travel to distant cities, and longs to learn to read like her younger brother. But nearly 12 years old, and soon to be of marriagable age, Malika knows that — like all Muslim women — she must be content with a more secluded, more limited life. Then one night a stranger enters her home... someone who disrupts the traditional order of things — and who affects Malika in unexpected ways.
