Book tickets
Melilla, a Spanish enclave in Morocco, is one of the few land borders between the African continent and Europe. A buffer zone on Europe's external borders, towards which migrants from Asia, the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa converge, where European migration policies, their stakes and consequences, can be seen and read. In transit through this city, Malik and his friends, minors of Moroccan origin, try to reach Europe. Day after night, they wander the city in all directions, exploring its most burning pasts and presents.
"The film works on certain blind spots in the Western world. At the same time, by portraying children living in the streets, it shows how resistant subjectivities gradually take shape as proposals for inhabiting the world."
– Sylvain George
This screening will be followed by an in person Q&A with filmmaker Sylvain George.
