Aya in the desert

On the coast of Cádiz, a group of sub-Saharan migrants is intercepted and taken to a sports centre to spend the night. Among them is Aya, a 13-year-old girl, dressed as a boy. While she tries to get in touch with her cousin who lives in Spain, Aya remembers the most important episodes of her journey, from the moment she fled the war in Ivory Coast, until she crosses the strait in a boat. Throughout this journey, Aya imagines the adventures of legendary Baulé Queen Akwa Boni as a reflection of her own experiences, which helps her face the hardest moments and keep the memory of his mother alive, hoping to see her again one day.
