Le voyage de Louisa

A young Tunisian school teacher and his little sister Louisa, with a life threatening disease, leave their small town hopeful to reach Lyon (France), where Louisa's condition may be treated. The trip is to take them first to the Tunisian capital and major port to find a clandestine boat to Sicily, then crossing Italy in several ways en route to France. The two have no papers and no experience outside their rural home. Theirs is a unique, dramatic voyage - marked by fear and distrust, and shady characters. But above all, it's a human adventure, discovering different places, cultures, and the nature of humankind.
