Jumping the Fence

El salto

“Hope is on the other side”

Ibrahim came to Spain from Guinea Conakry and now his roots are in Madrid, where he lives with Mariama and works as a bricklayer. One day, the police arrest him and Ibrahim, who lacks a residence permit, is deported to his country. From that moment on, his only objective will be to return to Spain to reunite with Mariama and her daughter about to be born. After managing to cross Africa, he settles with some companions in Mount Gurugú, an immigrant camp that separates Africa from Europe. There he meets Aminata, a girl determined to jump the fence and reach Spain. But that is a physical feat that is not within everyone's reach.
