I'VE DREAMT THE SAND
I DREAMED THE SAND deals with human crime against African animals: not the boycott for the use of some of their animal parts (elephant tusks for ivory, folidot for mysterious Chinese medicines and so on). The crime we are talking about is far worse and is known as a "trophy hunt". Hunting these beautiful threatened animals is illegal and yet if a person is rich enough, he can pay to be able to hunt an elephant, a giraffe, a cheetah, a lion, a zebra ... how is it possible that we live in a reality where money allows you to buy the life of a living being? A hunt whose sole purpose is to present you as a passionate hunter on social media!

INDIA | SCHOOL OF HAMLA - DAY
In a country not far from here lives a little girl named Hamla (8). With her raven-black hair and yellow tiger eyes she stands out from her friends. Being the eldest of three sisters, she is the only one who goes to school. She likes school, it makes her happy and carefree.
HOUSE OF HAMLA - EVENING
One day her mother Raji, very seriously, explains to her that she will have to get married. The family is poor and a marriage would bring the money needed to feed her little sisters.
Hamla doesn't understand.
- Getting married, and with whom?
- With a man who dad knows. He is rich.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?!
JUNGLE - NIGHT
Frightened and desperate Hamla runs off into the jungle in search of her secret hiding place. In the dark, the sounds of the forest get weirder and weirder. Yellow eyes flicker amongst the bushes. A tiger...
Terrified, the girl runs home.
HOUSE OF HAMLA - NIGHT
Hamla returns home ready to face her destiny. Her mom opens the door in silence and Hamla enters.
HOUSE OF HAMLA - DAY
The next day, the groom arrives in the village on the back of his elephant while unknown women invade the little girl's house, taking her and dressing her in fine clothes. A doll covered in silk and jewels.
