Together with other African refugees, Siad, a young male nurse from Somalia, and his daughter Shara are waiting in Tunisia to be smuggled to Europe. Their destination is the island of Lampedusa, just 70 miles away, the door to a future which will bring them safety and prosperity. Or so they hope.At last the journey begins. Together with 55 other refugees Siad and Shara crowd on a small decrepit boat. The journey turns into a nightmare: The motor breaks down and three passengers are washed overboard during a storm. When the refugees are finally picked up by the Italian coast-guard, emaciated people half-dead with thirst stagger from board.
The longed-for paradise turns out to be a refugee camp. There they have to wait under inhuman and degrading conditions until it is decided whether they are allowed to immigrate or not.
Siad and Shara are dreaming of going to Canada, where Siad could find work as a nurse. A dream they want to make come true with all their might.
