Sitting by the campfire, Serigne, a boy from Dakar, tells his two friends the story of his sea voyage as a stowaway. Not only he, but everyone in his surroundings seems to be continually obsessed by the idea of trying to cross the sea. His words reverberate like a melancholic poem. A story about boys who are continually travelling: between past, present and future, between life and death, history and myth.
