Synopsis:

Martin owns a funeral home in Algeciras, Spain, right on the Strait of Gibraltar. He has been struggling financially, so when the Spanish police recruit his services after a number of bodies are found on a nearby shore, he accepts the call. One of the dead men clenches a piece of paper with a telephone number, the only clue to the origin of the deceased. It is Leila who comes to identify the corpse of her younger brother. Despite the high cost, she decides to drive back to her Moroccan village with Martin to return her brother's body to her parents, as well as to bring back the clothing of the other dead to see if they can be identified. She is racked with guilt, as she was the one who sent her brother the money for the dangerous voyage. Together, Leila and Martin begin a journey that will change their lives forever.

In the early years of this decade, the corpses of eleven young Moroccan immigrants attempting to cross the Strait in a small launch are found strewn across the Rota beaches. The clothes they were wearing serve to establish that all eleven boys came from the same tiny village, Anísala.

Following the tragic drowning of a group of Moroccan immigrants off the coast of Spanish mainland, a funeral-home manager and the sister of one of the deceased attempt to get the bodies back to their home town of Hansala.
