At the southern edge of the Sahara desert stands The House of Migrants: a safe haven for travellers on their way to Europe, or those returning home.

Here they come to terms with their individual migration stories. How do you feel, what do you need, when your dreams have been buried in the sand, or when they are waiting to be lived?

Here, Malian director Ousmane Samassékou meets wayfarers in exile, in transit, or transition, in a captivating meditation on movement, migration and desire to find home.
