SPAIN
2008, colour, 28'
Vers: French - Sub: Eng

A group of refugees from Congo is blocked in the Moroccan city of Rabat. The border with Spain prevents them from following their journey to Europe. In a small and hidden room in a peripheral neighbourhood in the city, the refugees rehearse a theatre piece on their own experience of migration. An imperfect day, unachieved. Several characters appear, built up from what they lived, where real life and representation become the same thing.
