Description
Summary:Violeta, a teen who lives in a riverside village in Mali, has only an arranged marriage with a lascivious old man to look forward to and decides to run off to a faraway place. Meanwhile, in neighboring Niger, mechanic Buba is a skilled soccer player; his brother, Mukela suggests he should try his skills in Europe, where 'nobody dies of hunger.' Violeta meets the two boys when they're all loaded on a large truck, with many others, in central Niger. The route is across the pitiless expanse of the Tenere desert toward Morocco, via Algeria. They're dropped off in the desert a four-hour walk from Tamanrasset, in southern Algeria, but end up going round in circles as the horrors begin to mount.
"14 kilómetros es la distancia que separa África de Europa ... Es la barrera que separa los sueños de millones de personas que ven en Occidente se única salida para escapar de la miseria. De la mano de Violeta, Buba y Mukela recorreremos un largo y peligroso viaje a través del Sahara para conocer lo que nunca eseñan los medios de comunicación. Esta película quiere aportar un poco de luz a las sombras de la inmigración."--Container.
