Synopsis

Ouloulou, Baldé and Doucouré are three young migrants from West Africa who have recently arrived in Valencia, Spain. They tell how they crossed the Mediterranean Sea assisted by their marabout-shamans who recommended prayers, rituals and offerings.
Having set up in Valencia, they remain in contact with their marabouts by smartphone which has become essential for spiritual connection - in the hopes that their spiritual guide will continue to improve their living conditions.
In Mali, Bakary who has already made an unsuccessful attempt to cross, prepares for a new trip under his marabout’s watchful eye as well.
These young men lead us through the realm of African spirituality in a world of modern technology where the cell phone has become a genuine mobile talisman.
