Baye Laye is the captain of a fishing pirogue. Like many of his Senegalese compatriots, he sometimes dreams of new horizons, where he can earn a better living for his family. When he is given the opportunity to lead one of the many pirogues that head towards Europe he reluctantly accepts the job, knowing the dangers that lie ahead. Leading a group of 30 men who don’t all speak the same language, some of whom have never seen the sea, Bay Laye will confront many perils in order to reach the distant coast.
