Ibrahim came to Spain from Guinea Conakry and now his roots are in Madrid, where he lives with Mariama and works as a bricklayer. One day, the police arrest him and Ibrahim, who lacks a residence permit, is deported to his country. From that moment on, his only objective will be to return to Spain to reunite with Mariama and her daughter about to be born.
