In Dakar, local fishermen are struggling to support themselves and their families. The protagonist, Baye, convinces his friend, the experienced fisherman Lansana, to captain a pirogue on a dangerous journey to Spain. Lansana is initially hesitant, but the promise of a better life for his family convinces him to take on the challenge.
The group of fishermen who join the journey are a diverse mix of characters, each with their own reasons for leaving Senegal. Among them are a young man named Kaba, who dreams of becoming a soccer player in Europe, and a married couple, Moussa and Nafy, who hope to build a better life for their children.
The journey across the Atlantic is long and perilous, and the passengers are forced to endure hunger, thirst, and extreme weather conditions. The group is also plagued by uncertainty and doubt, as they wonder whether they will ever make it to Europe alive.
As the journey progresses, tensions rise among the fishermen. Some of them begin to lose hope, while others become increasingly desperate. After becoming ill, a fisherman named Samba must be thrown overboard to avoid infecting the others.
Despite the challenges they face, the passengers continue on their journey, driven by the hope of a better life. When they finally reach Spain, they are confronted with the harsh realities of Europe's immigration policies. They are detained and placed in a refugee camp, where they are forced to wait indefinitely for their fate to be decided.
