In the not too distant future the economic crisis (that instead of winding down has accelerated) has transformed Europe into a continent of emigrants. Meanwhile European citizens in the hope of finding work and a better future try to get to the “richer” countries, but are forced to do so illegally because those countries have closed their borders. Amongst the many ways to expatriate, one of the most common is the container: the illegal immigrant boards the container, paying 1000 dollars at the departure and 1000 on arrival, not knowing exactly where he will be dropped off.
