sinossi / synopsis
Paul è arrivato dal Camerun, attraverso il Sahara, sulla costa marocchina, e ora vive in una foresta aspettando il momento giusto per attraversare il Mediterraneo. Qui incontra Jakob, un filmmaker di Berlino, che sta girando lungo i confini dell’Europa. Si rincontreranno in un rifugio per migranti nel sud della Spagna. Quando Paul decide di recarsi in Germania, Jakob dovrà scegliere se diventare parte attiva nel progetto di Paul o se restare un distaccato documentarista.

Paul has made his way from his home in Cameroon across the Sahara to the Moroccan coast where he now lives in a forest waiting for the right moment to cross the Mediterranean. This is where he meets Jakob, a filmmaker from Berlin, who is filming along Europe’s borders. Soon afterwards, Paul manages to cross over to Spain on a rubber boat. He survives – but half of his companions die on this tragic 50 hour odyssey. Held for two months in a deportation centre, upon his release Paul meets Jakob again at a shelter for migrants in Southern Spain. When Paul decides to continue on to Germany, Jakob has to make a choice: will he become an active part of Paul’s pursuit of a better life or remain a detached documentary filmmaker?
