Fleeing threats of murder, Mamadou embarked on what African migrants call ‘The Adventure’. He left Ivory Coast behind him, crossed the Sahara and Mediterranean, lost friends along the way, and was robbed of self-worth.

Now an unofficial refugee in France, he scrapes by on odd jobs. He plays football, and dances, to forget. But there is no forgetting his daughter Naomi, who stayed home. Mamadou clings to hope they will find each other again, one day.
