Synopsis

Kaaboura, Samir and Mohamed, three people haunted by their needs and by trying to achieve a goal pursued by the limits of intimacy. Wandering all day, under a bridge, through maze in fields and around roundabouts. Where do the limits of a country begin? And how are other limits of another country beyond the seas are born? Mind maps tend to torn or to embrace awkwardly every hour ... the Tunisian 'harragas' (illegal immigrants) don’t have any reason to envy the fallen princes...
