Contents/Summary

Summary
In the densely forested hills above Ceuta,a Spanish enclave in Africa, 57 young Indian immigrants await their fate. They have crossed half the planet to get to Europe and now they can see Gibraltar and the Spanish coast - just 14 kilometers away on the other side of the Strait - but they cannot reach them. They are stuck in the juridical limbo of Ceuta: and after 2 years in the city’s migrant detention centre, and faced with a deportation, they decide to flee one night, and set up shanty camps in the nearby mountains. The film highlights the evolution of their relationships and attitudes as they confront conflicts within the group, homesickness and uncertainty.
