Sinopsis:

At night, on the outskirts of a metropolis a young black is first woundedand then burned to death when the young people's social center, where he was staying, is set on fire. The dream he had always cherished was to make a trip to Jamaica, the land of reggae, ganja and the tolerance of the rastamen.. The boy's pals try to identify his killers. One of the friends is also looking for the hospital his expectant wife has been taken to. A truck decorated with colourful Jamaican figures acts as a kind of lifeboat protecting then in this sea of urban violence. Death and memories, life and hope, interweave throughout this unique night, giving birth to feelings of deep friendship and joy at the arrival of the baby they all feel belongs to them. The death of their friend and the violence of the city are now seen in a new, creative context...
