To right the wrong, the fearless twelve-year-old son, Bayir, will set off on an epic adventure to track down the baby, as his infuriated camel mother is already out there to find him. On the saddle of his rugged sidecar motorcycle, Bayir will test his limits as well as his faith, as a variety of unexpected encounters, dangerous situations, and a true friendship will eventually turn the boy into a young man.

- Kalmyks say that a camel-shaped cloud brings good luck. A white little colt (celestial camel) Altynka was born under the such cloud. During the film shooting accidentally dies a white colt. A dubbing camel is required urgently. The movie-manager arrives at a far-away steppe station of a poor shepherd Dorzhi. Altynka is sold. The mother-camel runs away in to the steppe in search of her son. Twelve-year-old Bayir rides to steppe on his father's old motorbike in search of mother-camel. Bayir meets kind and evil people in the steppe. Summoners of rain, a disciple of Lama, help him in his way. Bayir meets a teenager named Quarter and they become friends. Meanwhile, at the railway station, the movie-manager is not able to send the white camel to the film-shooting place. Bayir and Quarter ride to the railway station by motorbike. There the friends meet both- the mother camel and the colt. Will Bayir be able to save Altynka and return home with the camel?...
