Plot: Castel Volturno Italy, 2010. Bits of life of Castel Volturno's Black inhabitants, contemporary Argonauts, who crossed the Mediterranean sea on rubber boats, following their European dream. Castel Volturno, an ex-holiday-paradise in Southern Italy, is nowadays a vessel for those Subsaharians who survived the journey through the desert and over the sea. After stranding in Lampedusa and being rejected by the European Commission, the next station is Castel Volturno, without 'papers'. The African reality of Castel Volturno is transported without an objective or analytical narrative, without accusing, but through a texture made of many subjectivities. A texture made of myths, self-suggestion, references and metaphors. The film focuses on the invisible things behind what we already know about this more or less desperate reality.

The former is the head of the D.G.S.E.'s (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, the French equivalent of the CIA or the MI6) counter-terrorism unit while the latter reigns over a terrorist network, and both fight using the most ruthless of weapons: human beings. Secret Défense (aka Secrets Of State) tells of their secret war through the destinies of Diane, a student recruited by the French secret service, and Pierre, a troubled young man who thinks terrorism will bring him salvation. Trained and indoctrinated for missions which are beyond them, they are both drawn into a chain of events from which they seem incapable of escaping.
