After gaining independence in the late 1960s, Yemen turned to the Soviet Union for support. Elnour’s visit to Yemen left a lasting impression as he witnessed the country’s zeal for exploration and progress. He was particularly struck by the desert schools built for the Bedouin people. These schools served a dual purpose: they catered to the Bedouin lifestyle, offering a space for new alliances to form, while also symbolizing a profound cultural transformation—an attempt to encourage the traditionally nomadic Bedouin to settle down. Despite facing numerous challenges during filming, the  movie received recognition and was honored with an award at the Moscow Film Festival.
