After several years in the United States, Sylvain heads back to France to attend his grandson’s christening. He wastes no time trying to catch up with his ex-wife and their children, but not everyone is pleased by his unexpected return...
Set in the northern Algerian port city of Mostaganem. The title refers to the hordes of refugees, the 'Harragas', who smuggle themselves out of the country via any means possible. Here we meet one such group, Rachid, Nasser and Imene who pay a smuggler, Hassan, to take them to Spain in his rickety boat. Along with a group of African and Arab migrants, they are risking all they have to cross the stormy Straits.
