Synopsis
A look at the life on the Mediterranean borders of Europe, where tourists try to relax while "illegal" immigrants struggle for a chance of a better life. Breaking out of a strictly confined tourist zone, two Swiss children experience quickly that reality here has very little to do with the posh life in their camping site. A storm hits the shore and washes away almost all distinctions between the rich and the poor.
