The temporary residents of Nouadhibou, Mauritania, have come from all over Africa to wait for transport to Europe, and the chance at a better life. Bettina Haasen’s intimate camera ushers us through the provisional world of these migrant workers as they pick up odd jobs and sleep in sparse rooms, all under the constant threat of deportation. Sandwiched between the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean, they try to stoke their individual dreams in a place where the only thing not fleeting is their desire to reach their destination.
