The film follows the stories of African migrants once granted political refugee status in Turin, a northern Italian city. Including the inevitable internal problems, the commitment of voluntary associations in providing a minimum support, the protests of citizenship and the initiatives of the City and Prefecture. The cold winter, unbearably sultry August, until the evacuation of the former clinic. Three emblematic characters in a story that reveals, with an intimate look, a collective history, an emblematic that of all European countries is undergoing.
