Seydou and Moussa, two Senegalese teenagers, leave their families in Dakar to pursue a dream of Europe, embarking on a gripping, urgent journey that tests the very limits of their humanity. Director Matteo Garrone (Gomorrah) immerses us in the physical and emotional hardships of their odyssey, capturing both the beauty and the stark brutality of the landscapes they traverse, from the scorching Sahara desert to the horrors of Libyan detention centers. Anchored by an intimate focus on courage and camaraderie, the film elevates a harrowing tale into a profoundly human story. It stands as a tense, moving meditation on survival, aspiration, and the ultimate price of seeking a better life.

The film is in English, French, Arabic, and Italian with English subtitles.
