Storyline
©
Six men and a woman set out on the hazardous journey from Senegal to
Morocco in a bid to slip illegally into Europe to escape from the
poverty and internecine warfare of Africa. All are lured by the promise
of a better life, but the challenges are numerous. Passing through the
hands of various smugglers, they cross the desert of Mauritania and
Algeria, first in a pick up, then in the back of refrigerated fish
trucks, and are finally dumped and forced to walk to the Moroccan
border. Though each is lured by a different reason, they unite to
overcome obstacles and finally reach the coast of Morocco, where they
stand looking at Spain across the narrow Straits of Gibraltar. On
reaching Tangiers, the invisible travelers go their separate ways and
prepare to attempt the fateful crossing to Spain.
