Like his brother Yaro, young Senegalese Demba leaves for Italy in search of fortune. Yaro’s death becomes the driving force behind a transformative tale, spanning North and South, depicting the horrors of immigration. Presented at Locarno and winner of the Swiss Film Award, Mohammed Soudani’s directorial debut is a stark reflection on the price of the dream of a new life in Europe.
