Beloved Mom, Dear Father,
today we're moving.

:36:35
The Lieutenant is sending us
behind the front to get bins of water.

:36:40
After weeks of being stuck in the pits...
:36:42
riding in the desert tastes like freedom.
:36:47
We seem to smell the sea.
:36:49
It's 60 kilometers away...
:36:52
but for us, it's more unreachable
than a mirage.

:36:57
The names here
are straight out of The Arabian Nights:

:37:00
Camel Plains, Dove Hills...
:37:04
Gazelle Cliff.
:37:06
But they are mere dots on the map
that only the Bedouins can recognize.

:37:14
-Are we lost?
-No.

:37:18
Know where we are?
:37:19
More or less.
:37:22
lt's all the same here...
:37:25
even the names...
:37:27
Qaret el Khadim, Qattaret el Diyura...
:37:30
Qaret el Yidma. All the same.
:37:34
They said there were palm trees,
but l don't see any.

:37:40
We should be near, try that way.
:37:56
There they are.
