  SYNOPSIS

The Sahara desert is two-faced:  on the one hand, the beauty of the dunes, telling us of ancient and beautiful cultures and landscapes, conveying peace of mind and well being; on the other, the desert is a land of transit, of anguish, of darkness, bearing witness day after day to a human tragedy of immense proportions. 
Hence the desert, becomes the stage for the death for thousands of migrants crossing these lands in their quest for a lifeline. 
Italy, plays the part of the protagonist nation, playing a key role in the Mediterranean, providing assistance and rescue to migrants landing on its shores.  The reasons behind this massive exodus are diverse but one thing is shared by all migrants :  the need to save their lives. 
The protagonists of this narrative are twenty-three young migrants, unveiling their real life stories through poetry and dance at the rhythm of rap, soul, hip-hop and African music.
The music running in their veins never abandons them, the search for a new life accompanies their smiles, their vital joy, a thread uniting and projecting them forward into the future.
