Melilla, a Spanish enclave in Morocco, is a land border between the African continent and Europe. In transit, Malik and his friends, underage youths from Morocco, try to reach Europe by any means necessary. At the same time, day and night, they survey the city like seismographs revealing the most burning present as well as the movements of the most distant past.

The film received a special mention in the official competition at the Locarno Film Festival.
