Harragas

Mostaganem, a port city in North of Algeria.

Three friends from one of its neighbourhood. The decision of boys to leave Algeria for France or Spain. The determination of girl to leave with them, ignoring the risks.

But their story is the heart of adventure from new life of other seven people, people from Sahara desert, a smuggler killed by ex cop in war against law, a boat in large of sea and a Chinese GPS and busola pure useless, the death of three of people and the illusion of finding destination, the final in which, after the few minutes on beach or prepaires for new life or a boat seeming the hoped answer, all descends in not so surprising bad luck with hope of presumed future succes.

Little more than one of many French films about immigrants but significant for few scenes - the prepair of special meal behind leave or the sura from Quran as refuge in boat or the sadism - desperation of ex cop or the scenes on beach or the costume from bag.

In short, useful remind about a tragedy from near reality.
