In a small commercial harbour in the south of France, two Moroccan sailors are watching over ferries that were abandoned by ship-owners. Young Syrians make a stopover to load their cattle, African traders prepare a convoy of second-hand vehicles. Men, machines, and animals transit through this space open onto the sea.

Abou and Nawal Lagraa want to create the country’s first contemporary dance company at Algier’s National Theatre. Laurent Aït Benalla follows the ten young self-taught dancers, hailing from the world of hip-hop, from the rehearsals to the show, which he films from behind the scenes, where bodies emerge from the shadows to soar towards the light of the stage.
