Synopsis
Not all the poor of the planet emigrate, in spite of suffering misery and privations in their own country. Why do some of them remain, and others go away? Immigration is always hard, but the hope in a better future is still alive. A man walks in the forest to his home ; a hut made of plastic in the middle of a clear : « My name is Siriman, I’m from Mali and i have been living in Spain for several months”. Siriman and his mates are for mishap near Huelva, in the south of Spain: “We are a community of 500 illegal persons that make a living collecting strawberries. But we are too many, and work is scarce because of the crisis” This is the story of women and men who left their village to find work. Sometimes to begin a new life.
