After a difficult separation in his native Germany, Jan Bauer sets off for the Australian desert in search of himself. He intends to walk the length of the ‘lhere pirnte' - the salty river. His 450-kilometre journey takes him into the scorching hot centre of Australia. There he meets a fellow wanderer, the young French woman, Morgane. The two grow closer as step by step they traverse the tough and beautiful Larapinta trail’s dry and salty riverbeds.
