Some fairy tales are true... some legends are real.

''Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel'' is told to be a ''documentary'', but I don't get exactly what is the purpose of it. It shows the story of a nomadic family and the troubles they have with a camel and her offspring, since the mother refuses to give maternal love to her baby. And that's it. More then one hour only watching camels, the desert, and part of the nomadic family's life. Don't get me wrong, the cinematography is beautiful and I do enjoy watching different movies from the ones from Hollywood, specially when all the people in this movie were real and not actors, but where is the plot of watching this movie? That's what I don't really get.

I found interesting, however,the ritual with music they did for the mother camel accept her baby back. I would love to see a research about that, because I've never heard about music healing an animal's trauma.

The movie is not bad, only without purpose.
