The journey proceeds on desertic lands. Starting with the laborers quarrying red dirt at open-air mines, it follows the iron ore all the way to the ocean, aboard the world`s longest train. At the end, the wrecks scattered on the beach announce the voyage`s end. Meanwhile, bound for prosperous countries, the cargo of valuable ore is heaped into the holds of ships at the dock. This film uses the age-old camera obscura device, one of the earliest ways of capturing reality. The technique yields an unusual perception of the desert`s geology, light, machines, and men.
