A fascinating and disconcerting portrait of the raw existence of Europe's illegal immigrants. The film follows eight young men, Kurdish, Moroccan and Romanian, as they struggle for survival on the streets of Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid.

Forced out of their native countries by political threats and extreme poverty they hope to find freedom and a way to provide for their families back home. But without visas and entirely alone, Europe’s streets do not offer these desperate men an easy ride.
