Seydou and Moussa decide to leave Dakar and embark on their journey to Europe—a modern-day Odyssey that confronts them with the perils of the desert, the horrors of a Libyan prison, and the life-threatening challenges of the sea.

Seydou and Moussa, two Senegalese teenagers, put their lives at risk by embarking on the  journey to Europe to follow their musical dreams. But they quickly become victims of false promises. On their way to Libya, they are abandoned in the middle of the desert and must continue on foot, along with other migrants.

A must-see film that takes you on an unforgettable, improbable journey. A bold roller coaster ride that overflows with authenticity, thanks to the unforgettable performances of its two young actors.
