Full plot (contains spoilers)
An advertising production team—a photographer, models (of three “colors”), other staff, and two police officers assigned to provide security—reaches the Algerian Sahara for a photo shoot promoting a new brand of ice cream. But the work is disrupted by the appearance of undocumented migrants from Mali who are trying to reach Europe. Philippe, the photographer, is thrown into a crisis, eventually offering to accompany them to the border. He also captures them on camera; but what will become of the photos once they reach Paris?
