The short film "Banc Jaxxlé" (which in Wolof - the local language of Dakar in Senegal - means "The bench of anxiety") is a fiction of eight minutes. The movie talks about the dream of African young people of emigrating to Europe and America. The hopes of those four kids are confronted with the tragic story of Bouna Wade (evocated in a newspaper article) and with the obstacles of international legislation. Bouna Wade was a youngster from Senegal who hid himself in the undercarriage of a plane and died, trying to emigrate.
