Mirage is a short story that tells a love born in a violent environment. A French officer who obeys an uncertain chain of command in North Africa is ordered to report on the fate of a group of refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing carried out by the Tuaregs in Mali.
The expected relief from the world powers is diluted in a web of strategic and economic interests, leaving the refugees helpless. The officer desperately tries to protect the refugees including a beautiful African young woman.
In this environment love, disappointment and rebellion are born.
