In the remote Sinai desert by the edge of the Red Sea there is a small miracle occurring. Abdallah Muzana, who is partially deaf and has learning difficulties, has befriended not only a dolphin, but a golden goose. Folks from far off Places are flocking to see Abdallah and Olene the dolphin. For a small fee one may even swim with Olene. There are however, a few who believe there is too much emphasis on the fiscal and not enough on the welfare of the dolphin. "All the arguments are about money, there are no arguments if you hurt the animal," claims one tourist. The influx of tourists has had an explosive effect on the local economy which is mainly made up of Abdallah's family. Even the genuine Bedouin village an hours drive away is populated with Abdallah's relatives. As we see Abdallah playing with Olene there are rumours awry that the Muzana family are trying to befriend another dolphin just in case Olene doesn't play ball one morning.
