Synopsis:
A Homeric fairy tale that tells the adventurous journey of two young boys, Seydou and Moussa, who leave Dakar to reach Europe. Inspired by actual stories of people’s African routes to Europe, exposing the greed, trauma and corruption driving today’s trade in would-be immigrants
This is a film that, for all its brutal horrors, keeps a kernel of hope and faith in the inherent decency of humankind (or some of it at least)
