Between the Calais Jungle where Tarek Sami spent long months filming, Algeria, which he left at the age of 20, and South Africa, where his brother settled, the filmmaker captures faces and stories by the fireside, to ward off the inevitability of the world's polarity and reclaim History. He delivers a poetic ode to the wretched of the earth striving to live their lives; a film filled with grace.
