'Adú' tells three different stories united by the same theme: poverty in Africa and the extreme situations of many of the continent's inhabitants. Whilst trying to reach Europe, a small boy and his older sister are crouched in an airport, waiting to be able to enter the holds of an airplane and escape from the continent. Meanwhile, an environmental activist tries to fight against the poaching of animals, whilst in her personal life she's struggling with her daughter's problems. On the other hand, a group of civil guards will have to prepare for the people that try to jump the fence in Melilla in an attempt to escape from their lives on the African continent in the pursuit of a stable future.
