In the midst of a desert landscape under the mercilessly scorching heat stalks a limbless man, sunburned, desperate and in search of something to drink; he moves on crutches through the sand, until he loses all strength, collapses and remains motionless. He is found in this state by two camels, who decide to take him as a „souvenir“ and carry him to an oasis. The thirsty man wallows in the cool water until one of the camels, refreshing itself, contaminates the life-saving source.
