Hope – A young man finds a way to migrate to Europe: together with two other friends, he pays a smuggler to reach Europe by boat. During the crossing, his two friends die but he manages to make it to Marseille where he starts living a hand-to-mouth existence and regrets his decision to come to Europe, which has had such a high human cost.
