After crossing the fence of Melilla from Morocco, Ihsen enters the reception center for nuns for unaccompanied minors, where Asia and Múnia also live. Hamza turns 18 and must leave the children's center. They all left alone in Melilla, but found a new family: the NANA dance group. One day, the company is selected to participate in a talent show, but the television dream vanishes like a plume when it returns to Melilla.

To the rhythm of dance and pop music, we follow the months of hard work of this group of unaccompanied minors in Melilla with name and surname. A social documentary by the director Elena Molina that departs from the reportage style with which a subject like immigration is normally focused, and carefully explains their daily live.

Presented by

Director Elena Molina has already worked on the Syrian refugee crisis from a new perspective, mixing documentary with animation. In her new film, she urgently proposes to reverse the hate speeches that fuel the situation of unaccompanied minors who arrive in Europe via Melilla. A film created over four years of relationship and bond with Hamza, Assia, Mounia and Mouad.
