When the civil war in Chad ends, survivors hope that justice will be served against those involved in the genocide. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, however, chooses not to condemn them.

Instead of finding a cold-blooded murder, Atim meets a charitable baker and soon-to-be father. When Nasara asks to adopt him, Atim pretends that he wants to get his father's approval. He brings Nassar to the desert to meet his grandfather
