A film journey to the last invisible border separating the West African coast and Europe.

The bleak Mauritanian coastal city of Nouadhibou is a metaphor, a point of arrival and of departure, a gathering place of broken dreams – a place of waiting for that better life further north.

Above all, it is a no man’s land, a place of endless waiting and endless hoping. A grim and inhospitable departure point for the tens of thousands of people that pour in from neighbouring countries, all with only one dream in mind: Europe.
