Corum - Opéra Berlioz Dimanche 25 octobre 2009, 21 h 30
Mostaganem on the coast of Algeria, 200 kilometres from Algiers. Hassan, a people smuggler, forms a group of illegal immigrants for the crossing to Spain. Four of his friends and six 'harragas' ('burners' of frontiers) from southern Algeria, who finance most of the crossing, participate in the adventure. It is a true commando operation, prepared in detail in complete secrecy by Hassan, Nasser and Rachid. But imponderables soon accumulate.
