The poster of this movie sucks. It's basically nothing to do with that boy, the photographer.
It is a story about a girl with her dream, her dog and four camels.
I always want to escape from the money-hunting life, not necessarily looking for a life like Davidson's, but something away from money, social status, connections and many other things. I guess it would end up with a dream, a dream which I never have chance to fulfill in this life time. I still want a place warm, cozy, clean with hot tub. I still need movies to watch, books to read and certain good food to eat. Therefore, I admire people like Davidson, Robin Lee Graham (The Dove). They have demonstrated their desires to the goal, to the dream. Davidson is the ace of her peers.
I think Davidson is looking for an experience, in stead of concurring the wild Australian desert. Almost 200 days traveling alone (no human company) and refusing photographers, reporters and red ribbon at the ocean coast. That was something!
