The film accompanies five refugees from West Africa upon their arrival in Italy. Their journey remains a year-long odyssey in which they are exposed to a vacuum of waiting. Only their reflection on their longing for a better life, the disillusionment they will soon experience and their lost homeland form the stability that runs like a red thread through the haunting portraits of the protagonists.

“Miraggio” accompagna cinque rifugiati provenienti dall’Africa occidentale dopo lo sbarco in Italia, osservandoli durante la loro odissea di lunghi anni di attesa segnati dal vuoto. Dalle riflessioni dei protagonisti emerge come unico filo conduttore o unica costante il desiderio di una vita migliore, la pronta disillusione e non da ultimo la patria lasciata alle spalle.
