This short film invites us to reflect on migration, family reunification and human rights.

Curatorial note:

Not only does the sea separate land, but also dreams and realities. Ahmed arrives in Argentina carried by a wave of invisible reasons and faces the coldness of the bureaucratic labyrinth. With an enveloping poetic efficiency, the short film manages to bring closer the shores of the migrant and the civil servant´s experiences. It reminds us that we are all navigators in the eternal sea of change, and that the stamp on a file hides traces of a deeper journey. Capucine Rolland
