Overview
After failed attempts to reach Europe, César, Félou, and Érik end up in Bamako, Mali, deported but determined to pursue their dreams. Amih fights to escape unfulfillment and create a better future for herself and her children. Their paths converge in Bamako, a transit city for migrants whose hopes of entering the West have been shattered. Despite struggles, they seek freedom through poetry, theatre, and song, expressing the inexpressible and standing against oppressive forces. Collateral victims of the global economic crisis, they aspire to live life on their own terms. Their dreams and words resonate with universal truths, embodying power.
