- Synopsis
- I wish to reveal the depth of Africa's culture and traditions, its timelessness and universality. I wish to show that, beyond the shadows and the tragic history of this continent, there is also life and happiness, that of the rituals, the songs and dances. We will sail up the Congo river, the largest river basin in the world, from its mouth all the way to its source. This journey, on this majestic river, which has inexorably followed its path for centuries and centuries, will also be a personal path.
