The lessons of immigration explained in three stories of hope deluded: illegal seasonal farmworkers hired under miserable living and working conditions for the tomato harvest in Almeria, Spain; Adam, who left the Ivory Coast and crossed the deserts of Mauritania and Morocco, heading toward the border with Spain where, like thousands of others, he tries to escape the attempts of the Moroccan police to repatriate him; the tragic situation of Bakary Fofana, a village on the border between Mali and Mauritania, where desertification is steadily advancing.
Elina Hirvonen is a journalist and writer. Her first novel, "Ettè Hèn Muistaisi Saman" ("When I Forgot"), was published in 2005. She studied documentary cinema at the UIAH, University of Arts, Helsinki, and made her directorial debut with Three Wishes (2003). She currently lives in Zambia.
«For a long time, I had been disturbed by the fact that every year thousands of people from developing countries risk theirs lives in trying to get to Europe. When trying to find a way to make a film about that, I found an article about Spanish tomatoes, and the people who harvest them. Reading the article started a journey to see the people
who harvest the tomatoes […]. We ended up in a small village in Mali […]. And we met people who left their homes and all their loved ones to find a better life - and to make life better for those who were left behind. We wanted to make a film that respects those people, their dignity and courage, and the risks they have been forced to take to survive in this world».
