Hichem has dreamt with "harga" since he was a child. One day he set forth on the sea towards Europe, on the grand forbidden voyage in a precarious open boat with 27 other Tunisians, some of whom were his friends. Hichem is the only one who has come back. Other Tunisians tell us why they want to leave their country: Poverty, unemployment, no hope for the future, trapped in a dead end. They are ready to do anything to improve their situation, and that includes risking their lives.
don't fear I'm a fiddler of mean
let me play for awhile
I invite you to dance - forever
hey little child I believe that you
know who I am
to late to warn - the others are lost
in the music of hell
they dance, they dance into trance
my violin plays the tunes of oblivion
dance
my cloven-hoof stroke
pulsate in your blood
you are doomed to the dark
dance, dance, let flesh become soil
let bones become dust
in the winds of the earth
dance in the oldest of pines
I laugh as I play
your lunacy grows
while you dance into hell
I steel your souls they are mine
under the sky before the trinity eye
