Jean Gabriel is a mountain man. He has walked the mountains of the world and now tries to make sure that the migrants who walk his mountains arrive safely in France and are well looked after. For those migrants who do make it over the border a refuge in Briançon awaits. Some migrants stop a few days or weeks here before continuing their journey on to other parts of France, the UK, or elsewhere in Europe – migrants like university student Ayoub from Morocco, who hopes that in Europe he can make his parents proud and one day have a family of his own.
