In this clip, two girls explore the desert between shots of the neighboring mountains and shots of the flora.The clip opens with a little girl in front of a large stretch of land in front of some mountains; a pond reflects the clouds in the sky. An old man, perhaps an American Indian, looks directly into the camera. Shot of some goats chewing behind a fence, the cut to a gathering of very spiny cacti. More shots of mountains and cacti. The girl skips through the dry brush, then there is a shot of an open road on the desert landscape. The girls walk over some rocks, their outfits complimenting the nature around them. The girls are featured in the next several shots with the valley in the background, including a town with mission style architecture. Next, the girl is shown near the seashore, then cut back to the desert. The girl uses a pickax to get into the ground; CU of a rock in her hands. The girls and their mother walk along through the desert.
