Demba, who continues listening from a distance, joins the conversation. “If you see me disappear in the dunes with a woman who could have been my grandmother, you know something’s not right in my head,” he says, angrily.

Demba insinuates that he’s trying to get to Europe via this strategy. “There’s no work here,” the Gambian explains. “If you don’t have enough money to get to Europe by boat, you try to get there by starting a relationship with a tourist,” he concludes.“
