A port in the north of Europe. Sandu, a 13-year-old gypsy, wants to get to Canada. He is not the only one. Five other men and a woman are also stowaways. Six people, six lives, six des- tinies and one single wish: to reach the other side, where life is better. The voyage normally takes a week – a week to hide in a container, thirsty, hungry and above all afraid. Afraid of cracking up, going mad, and worse still of not arriving. Ever. A kind of hell. The ship’s engine breaks down. With nothing to eat, the stowaways are tempted to leave their hideaway. But the crew is on guard. Their orders are clear: no stowaway must ever reach Canada...

We kindly thank Say the SAME Subtitles and the Cineneteca Nacional de Uruguay for providing Spanish subtitles for this title.
