OMAR and his mule zigzag along the bottom of sun scorched dunes.

The mule and the boy finally reach a camp.  A few tents dwarfed by a huge

some kids by the temple entrance holding large mirrors, reflecting light

into the temple.

Omar leaves his mule in the shade, seizes two goatskins and slips inside

the temple.
