Curatorial note:
Imade is a young deaf Moroccan man settled in Spain, who is legally living in the country today and has a steady job; it could be said that he has made it. But there’s something fundamental missing: the possibility of being with his loved ones. In this short film of great cinematic beauty, we find—through a sensitive and tender gaze—one of the many stories about uprooting, loneliness, and the arduous work in pursuit of a better life.
