Trotare

A fortnight ago, a makeshift boat, carrying 15 illegal immigrants from Algiers, trying to reach the Spanish coast at night, was caught in a storm and disappeared. Two bodies were found dead and only one survived, HAMID, spotted and boarded by the Spanish coast guard. He is back in Algeria after the Spanish authorities handed him over to the Algerian police. The other missing persons are still being sought, but without any hope of finding them alive after 15 days of the shipwreck. It is time to mourn. Hamid has returned home in a critical state. Everyone takes him for a depressed person, a traitor, a madman, a deaf-mute... In any case this shipwreck caused him a psychological shock. He tries to overcome his very affected psychological state in front of the pressures of the families of the disappeared, of the police, of his family and of the social life he was about to leave. It is the return to the point zero. Hamid is locked in a labyrinth.
