After travelling across the African continent, Ibrahim settles in the vicinity of the Mount Gurugu near Nador with a group of people seeking to jump the border fence to Melilla, including Aminata and Ousman.
[9] Salvador Llopart of La Vanguardia rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, lamenting that "the protagonists turn out to be schematic ideas rather than real characters".
[10] Laura Pérez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, assessing that it "is overly explanatory", but also writing that "it takes flight in the sequence of the fence jumping".
[11] Carlos Boyero of El País lamented that "it took so long for the horror [of the ending] to arrive" (in which "everything is truthful and terrible" to him) [because] he found the film to be "easy and predictable" before.
