Moving across the shores between Ceuta (Spain) and Tangier, Morocco, a man and woman discover the present borders and past archaeologies of these lands that were once one and now exist separately. Human shipwrecks meet the abyss of such separation. People are trapped in a limbo between Europe and the inhospitable forests of Morocco. In the incessant search for a better life, many die crossing the Mediterranean, a sea that has become a graveyard of unconquered lost hopes. The land is cut by barbed wires that do not let people in or out, constantly expelling and containing.
