Experiencing Interruptions?

I Am Here (Mangui Fi)

Ababacar and Mbaye are two Senegalese immigrants who met in Buenos Aires and became close friends. Led by the very same idea of the son's sacrifice that's so strong in their culture, their journey takes them to different directions and makes them see their own condition in opposite ways. But their friendship reveals itself as a mirror where they can project in the other a different version of themselves.
