The story
Seydou and Moussa, two teenage cousins living in Dakar, dream of escaping poverty and have made plans to leave their hometown for Italy, against the advice of local men and expressed wishes of Seydou's mother.
Once in Niger, they pay to join a group crossing the Sahara desert into Libya; first by pickup truck and later on foot with a guide.
After entering Libya, rebels intercept the group and shake them down for valuables, taking away Moussa after he attempted to hide his money in his rectum.
