Mediterranea

Ayiva and Abas are part of a group of immigrants who undergo a distressing journey across the sea from Africa to Italy. Ayiva uses sheer willpower to find his footing, while Abas first succumbs to resignation and then to hatred toward everything in the new land. The pair embody the two fundamental approaches to the situation facing immigrants from countries with completely different cultures after they arrive in Europe.
