Each year, when the dry season arrives in Oromia (South of Ethiopia), the Borana herders gather with their livestock, after days and days of walk, around their ancient "singing" wells. The film follows their life for a whole drought, showing a unique traditional water management system that permits to manage the little available water as the property and right of everyone, without any money been exchanged.
