MOUNIR

The reunion 20 years later of Mounir Jadivi, an undocumented immigrant who arrived in Spain at the age of eight, with film director Xabier Rúa, his former mentor at a juvenile center, resulted in a docufiction exercise created by both. It tells the harsh daily life of an undocumented immigrant in Spain.
