Ibrahim came to Spain from Guinea Conakry and now his roots are in Madrid, where he lives with Mariama and works as a bricklayer. One day, the police arrest him and Ibrahim, who lacks a residence permit, is deported to his country. From that moment on, his only objective will be to return to Spain to reunite with Mariama and her daughter about to be born. After managing to cross Africa, he settles with some companions in Mount Gurugú, an immigrant camp that separates Africa from Europe. There he meets Aminata, a girl determined to jump the fence and reach Spain. But that is a physical feat that is not within everyone's reach.

[Veoasecan] It is often said that there are films that have better intentions than results, which is not this case. The results are not good, but the intentions are developed in a script that sends messages in each dialogue, building stereotypical characters and supported by a treatment of immigration that is too basic. There is therefore no transcendence in the message, because it only uses clichés to build characters so stiff that it is difficult to identify with them. It's a problem of a weak script but also of a directing that places the camera as if it were a political speech.
