On the border between Morocco and Spain, they wait impatiently for the boza, the crossing to Europe. Amid successive failed attempts, they survive, and the director, as the “artist,” must keep the flame of the group’s hope alive. With a camera and a handful of songs, they made this film together.
The screening on Friday the 15th will be followed by the “Conversación con David Bingong. Cine, mirada y clase” activity.
