Sitting by the campfire, Serigne, a young man from Dakar, tells his two friends the story of his sea voyage as a stowaway. “Melancholic and mysterious, the film urgently and elegantly addresses the perils of illegal migration” (Andréa Picard, TIFF Wavelengths). Tiger Award for Best Short Film, Rotterdam International Film Festival, 2010; No Violence Award, Ann Arbor Film Festival, 2011.
