    • Synopsis
    • In the high-octane world of Bedouin camel racing, where legacies are forged and family honor is on the line, Ghanim dreams of seizing victory in the prestigious Great Safwa Race, as tribute to his legendary grandfather, known only as Hajjan – the arabic word for jockey

      But tragedy strikes when Ghanim is thrown from his mount by a mysterious rider in a golden headscarf, resulting in his tragic death. Witnessing his older brother's suspicious demise, orphaned Mattar vows to avenge him, embarking on a mission to become Hajjan and preserve his family's legacy.

      Bound to the sinister Jasser, Mattar and his loyal camel, Hofira, navigate the treacherous world of camel racing during their journey across the sands of the Arabian desert. Along the way, they form unexpected alliances and uncover dark secrets, transforming their quest for justice into a battle for freedom, challenging the very traditions they seek to uphold.
