Camel from Kyzylkum is a vivid exploration of Gelya's life as she embarks on a remarkable journey from Ukraine to the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan and onward through Austria, Italy, and, ultimately, America. Along the way, she delves into themes of hope, family, loss, and resilience, painting a picture of the pursuit of self-determination.
