В двадцать восемь лет Шмитт предпринял пеший поход по пустыне Сахара. Он отправился туда будучи атеистом, а, десять дней спустя, вернулся глубоко верующим человеком. Вдали от привычного окружения писатель и драматург открыл для себя простую жизнь, завязал дружбу с туарегами. А потом он заблудился на просторах Ахаггара. На протяжении тридцати часов он ничего не ел и не пил, он не понимал, где оказался, и сумеют ли его найти. И ночь, проведенная под звездами, открыла ему новый духовный путь.
