Among the Kazakh people living on the grasslands of China, a fatal accident leads to a conflict between two families.

Twelve-year-old Kazakh shepherd boy Biek (帕拉沙提·阿依克什) lives in the Altay pastures of Xinjiang. When he hears that the beloved “Grandpa Camel” – the Han-Chinese agronomist who once brought camel-industry know-how to the village – is seriously ill in Chengdu, the child becomes convinced that only the magic of fresh white-camel milk can save him.
