Synopsis: Bilal is 17 years old, a Kurdish boy from Iraq. He sets off on an adventure-filled journey across Europe. He wants to get to England to see his love who lives there. Bilal finally reaches Calais, but how do you cover 32 kilometers of the English Channel when you can't swim? The boy soon discovers that his trip won't be as easy as he imagined... The community of struggling illegal aliens in Calais is captured with authenticity, from the point of view of people who arrived there knowing nothing about France. This immigrant drama, with wonderful performances by the actors, is a strong story which uses documentary austerity and minimalist style to create a great emotional impact.

In fact, I would like to continue,

I have to do something now.

Come with me. Come, come ... come.

Simon, I, listen, I thought well, not

should leave these people in your home.

No idea where you're getting into,

police guard around the world.

They do everything to get us, so

not hurt hot meals and clothing.

On Monday morning

got a volunteer who had / i

refugees in his house

you risk 5 years in prison. / i

is the price, now you know? / i

So there will be more

a burden to you.

Judges do not relax with it.

I do not know what I wanted to prove

with it, but now comes.

Receive them in your home

was very good, very

generous, but must stop

it now, even.

Good morning, everyone, sit down.

I can not say more now.

Promise you'll stop it?

Yes

- A hug.

- Me too.

Simon! Simon!

Are you done? ... Very good!

Many chains!

Get it now?

Impossible. I told you!

Good costume. Not cold.

My nose is not cold, is blue!

An hour and is already blue.

I have towels.

Yes

Very pretty.

His father works in England

long.

He got a visa for 6 months.

She knows that you go there?

Yes, but I could not talk to her

since I left Iraq.

Take, call her.

- No, no, thanks.

- Yes, call her.

No, seriously.

I'll call from a payphone.

Where to go?

- At the center?

- Yes

Has power everywhere?

- What?

- The currents in the channel?

Everywhere, yes.

Mr. Calmato by mutual agreement, put

income from the apartment in his name.

In the absence of children ...

it is not a pension

or a custody agreement.

Remains the provision compensatory

on which you agree

that there was great

income gap between the two

and therefore there is no need.

Is there anything more

to add, lawyer?

No, Your Honor.

- Madam:
... Lord? ...

- No.

- Aspirin. Take.

- Thank you.

How do you feel?

Over, then.

Sad.

No longer use your ring?

I can not find it,

For months I look for

I do not know what I did with him,

looked everywhere.

Anyway, that ring

means nothing now.

- I finished my turn, I can charge?

- Let.

Sorry, be right back.

What made her the Kurds?

We did a test at sea, fared well.

We must place greater emphasis on training,

but soon will be ready.

And then, I will train others, and more

other, is not very complicated, you know?

This summer, I double the pace.

- Madness!

- Here. Thanks

To find your girlfriend.

He walked 400 km to go back to find it.

And now you want to cross the

English Channel, swimming!

I, when you left, I was not able to

cross the street to reach you.

What are you doing? Slept here?

Sorry, sir.

Slept here? Sh*t, that abuse!

Not want a coffee, too?

That's enough, do not fret for so little.

Marion gone.

What happened here?

Where is everybody?

The police came again, threw gas

tear, held 2 or 3 and went.

Just to keep them from eating.

- Can you help?

- Yes

- And the children, where are they?

- Scattered throughout the forest.

Can you help me put

others, too?

There are already two restaurants.

This, and a near Heathrow.

Will open another in Brick Lane.

And they want me to be the manager.
