Synopsis
In a small room in Rabat, a group of refugees from Congo rehearse a theatre piece on their own experience of migration. Real life and representation become the same thing. An imperfect play, unachieved. On the other side, archives from the news show the impossible accomplishment of their dream: migrants rejected to the desert, obliged to start the journey once more. Faces that have lost their names and empty spaces where everything occurred and keep happening. The print of their story captured in silence.
