Clandestino tells the story of Modou and Samba, two Senegalese friends who emigrate to Europe by boat. But their hopes of finding a better life there are soon dashed. The two friends ultimately decide to go back to Senegal and become self-employed. The Senegalese-German Centre for Jobs, Migration and Reintegration (CSAEM) in Dakar helped them to do just that. Both of them managed to realise their dreams of starting their own businesses back in their home country.

Clandestino is a joint production by the Senegalese agency Créatif Pencil and the Senegalese-German Centre.
