Three migrants leave home in their teens to embark on a grueling, years-long journey to Spain. Crossing the Sahara Desert by foot, spending months to years living in the forests of Morocco, and finally making the dangerous crossing to the Spanish mainland, their stories have one thing in common: incredible optimism in the face of inconceivable adversity.
Using animation and archival footage, the film’s dynamic structure jumps between present day observational footage of life in Spain and reconstructing their migration story.
