Seydou and Mousa, two Senegalese teenagers seduced by the promise of a better, more exciting time in Europe, embark on a journey across Africa toward the Mediterranean Sea.

They face a series of grave hardships including a dangerous trek across open desert and potentially deadly encounters with counterfeiters, thieves and traffickers.

Bustling with energy, with vivid details from the director’s research and the real-life experiences of former migrants, and in turn both horrifying and beautiful, this timely film was Oscar nominated for best international feature.

The central actor, Seydou Sarr, won the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actor at the Venice Film Festival.
