There are roughly 3,600 Moroccans living in a bustling suburb of 200,000, just outside of Madrid. As geographical transplants, these Moroccans wrangle with the vast differences between the local Spanish language and their North African Arabic. They also find it very difficult to associate with the Spanish culture; and for many, after having followed the promise of job opportunities in a new country, the reality of their circumstances has left them barely able to make ends meet. Embarrassed and disconnected, they gravitate to lives of isolation.
