《天堂 — 旅行三部曲》
一部关于梦想，移民和西班牙西红柿的纪录片
“我以为我去了欧洲以后，一切都不会有问题。当我来到了欧洲，我哭了。当我来到了西班牙，我也哭了。”
Elina Hirvonen’s的《天堂 –旅行三部曲》是一部关于非洲移民到欧洲的富有诗意的纪录片。在第一段旅程中，我们沿着西红柿货车去往西班牙艾美利亚的线路，而这条线路也是非洲的非法移民将他们收割的蔬菜运送给欧洲消费者的一条线路。路上，我们遇到了24岁的Bakary Fofana，为了实现梦想，他离开了自己的家乡马里。追求更好的生活。第二段旅程把我们带到了摩洛哥，在这里有无数的移民，为了能够去往欧洲，他们愿意付出一切，不惜任何代价。在这儿，我们遇见了在象牙海岸从战争中逃出来的Adam。此时的他，已从摩洛哥和毛里塔尼亚边界的沙漠走了1000多公里，迈向首都Rabat.第三段旅程则是越过沙漠，去往Bakary Fofana位于马里和毛里塔尼亚边境的家乡。

Paradise – Three Journeys in this World
A documentary film about dreams, immigrants and Spanish tomatoes
”I thought that when I go to Europe, everything would be fine. When I came to Europe, I cried. When I came to Spain, I cried.”
Elina Hirvonen’s Paradise – Three Journeys In This World is a poetic documentary about immigration from Africa to Europe. In the first journey we travel along the route of tomato trucks to Almeria, Spain, where illegal immigrants from Africa harvest vegetables for European consumers. We meet 24-year-old Bakary Fofana, who, dreaming of a better life, has left his home village in Mali. The second journey takes us to Morocco, where numerous immigrants are willing to do anything to get to Europe. We meet Adam, who has escaped war in the Ivory Coast. He has walked over 1000 kilometres from the desert on the border of Morocco and Mauritania to the capital, Rabat. The third journey takes us through the desert to Bakary Fofana’s home village on the border of Mali and Mauritania.
