In a desperate attempt to reach Europe and crouched before an airstrip in Cameroon, a six-year-old boy and his older sister wait to sneak into the holds of an airplane. Not too far away, an environmental activist contemplates the terrible image of an elephant, dead and fangless. Not only do you have to fight against poaching, but you will also have to meet the problems of your newly arrived daughter from Spain. Thousands of kilometers to the north, in Melilla, a group of civil guards prepare to face the furious crowd of sub-Saharan people who have begun the assault on the fence. Three stories linked by a central theme, in which none of its protagonists know that their destinies are doomed to cross and that their lives will no longer be the same.
Bit of a weird movie, but a good effort nonetheless. I found it pretty cliche and the two extra storylines were redundant and added little to the story. The main story was definitely successful in raising awareness about the hardships of refugees (the part on the plane shocked me the most, can that really happen in real life??) but the other two felt silly and annoying to watch, especially the one that forcefully wanted me to feel empathy for a cop. I get what the film was trying to achieve but it didnt quite get there. Still, I applaud it for the filming on location and the dedication to making it look as close to actuality as possible. The subject matter isn’t explored nearly enough in mainstream media and it has to be one of the biggest tragedies of our time.
