Synopsis
A year in the shelter of Caramagna (in Piedmont) where Diarra, a young man from Côte d’Ivoire, and his companions of misfortune live. They arrived from Libya, and they are waiting to get an immigrant visa and political asylum. Some of them fled from war, others are seeking a new future, for which they paid handsomely. The empty days are interspersed with conversations, confrontations, and the looming prospect of the shelter closing... Until the so-called “North Africa emergency,” which they found themselves involuntarily involved in, comes to an end. Diarra and the others are forced to hit the road again, each of them heading toward a different destiny.
