Synopsis

Melilla, a Spanish enclave in Morocco, is one of the last European
colonies as well as a land border between the African continent and
Europe. In transit through the city, Malik and his friends, miners of
Moroccan origin, try to reach Europe. Day after night, they make the 400
blows, survey the city in all directions, turn it inside out like a
glove like seismographs revealing the most burning present like the
movements of the most distant past, take all the risks to climbing on
the boats...
