Deltas, Back to the Shores - Two shores, two journeys, one restless sea

As global migration crises deepen, this compelling documentary presents an intimate and humanized look at two lives caught in the undertow of change.

In Tangier, Ibrahima lives in legal limbo, paralyzed by fear of the perilous sea crossing to Europe. Meanwhile, Agostinho, who has spent forty years fishing those same waters, faces his wrenching departure as he leaves for Holland with his family.

Through these intertwined journeys, the film captures the universal longing for home and the painful sacrifices made when survival demands letting go. In today's fractured world, their stories echo the broader struggles of migration, loss, and hope.
