Synopsis

An old man is entrusted with curing a young girl struck by amnesia. He takes her on a healing trip, eccentric and joyous, to Ouagadougou – by way of the Cape, Berlin, Mali, Belgium… In a series of travels full of surprises, they meet characters both remarkable and luminous – or ignorant, with set ideas; not to mention a range of fabulous creatures, and a message hidden deep in the continent that reveals a well-kept secret.
