This absorbing documentary records a few weeks in the life of the stateless 10-year-old Saharan boy Bachir as he travels to a summer camp in Spain. We follow him as he leaves his tent in a refugee camp in the middle of the Algerian Dessert to join a family in the bustling city of Barcelona. Will this adventure affect the hopes and dreams he's inherited from his late father?
