While big part of the europeans celebrate Christmas with their families, Mariam, a young mother from Ivory Coast, gives birth in the borderline between Morocco and Spain, wanting eagerly a decent future for her newborn in Europe. On that same night, thousands of sub-Saharan immigrants try to jump Melilla's fence while the Moroccan civil guards and the police attempt to prevent it. Before the birthing, the mother of the baby, consious of the dangers for giving birth and her irregular situation, writes a letter to her son Treasure.
