Moussa is a young boy from Burkina Faso. He was born and lives in the same village as his parents, his family and his wife, Fatima, although he prefers to call her "Bamako", because it's there, in the capital of Mali, that he met her before they married and had a baby, Mamadou. Although the land produces just enough to survive on, the precarious balance has recently been upset by a long drought. Driven by the responsibility of helping his family, and having asked the elders of his hamlet for their opinion, Moussa decides to immigrate to Europe.

______________
ES Moussa es un joven de Burkina Faso. Vive en la aldea donde nació con sus padres, su familia y su mujer, Fátima, aunque él prefiere llamarla "Bamako" porque es allí, en la capital de Mali, donde la conoció, antes de casarse y tener a su bebé, Mamadou. El campo da lo justo para comer, pero ese precario equilibrio se ha roto últimamente debido a la larga sequía. Empujado por la responsabilidad de ayudar a la familia, y tras pedir opinión a los ancianos de su aldea, Moussa decide emigrar a Europa.
