Description:

Set against the rugged backdrop of the Arabian Peninsula during the 1930s, this compelling tale unfolds as two powerful leaders, Nesib and Amar, forge an uneasy truce. They agree to respect the neutral status of a desolate expanse of land known as The Yellow Belt, which lies between their respective territories. As part of this agreement, Nesib adopts Amar's sons, Saleeh and Auda, as symbols of their pact. Over the years, Saleeh transforms into a skilled warrior yearning for freedom, while his brother Auda remains focused on knowledge and wisdom.The arrival of an ambitious Texan oil prospector changes everything. He informs Nesib that untold riches lie beneath his land due to its abundant oil reserves. Fueled by this revelation, Nesib envisions a prosperous future for his people, with infrastructure such as roads, schools, and hospitals funded by the newly discovered oil. However, there's a catch: the oil resources are found within the disputed Yellow Belt. This newfound wealth brings about not only hope for progress but also the potential for renewed conflict over land and power.
