520    After being driven from their land by French colonial 
       soldiers in 1909, Nour and his people, "the blue men" must
       search for a haven out of the desert that will shelter 
       them.  Interspersed with the story of Nour is the 
       contemporary story of Lalla, a descendent of the blue men,
       who lives in Morocco and tries to stay true to the blood 
       of her ancestors while experiencing life as a modern 
       immigrant.
