Amine and her sister Isokè live in a poor village of Sub-Saharian Africa. One day predators attack the village, burn their home and kill parents and brothers.
Left alone, the two children flee to the north of the desert, where they are rescued by a couple of archaeologists who take them to Libya.
They are captured by a militia, they experience imprisonment, violence and slave work, until they succeed in getting on a boat that drives the anchor towards the unknown...
"The forced journey escaping from Africa offers us a glance on a crucial theme that no European citizen can ignore. People, beloved ones, stories rendered with drama and lightness where too often we meet only numbers and stereotypes."
