In the vibrant and chaotic landscapes of Dakar, Senegal, we meet Mory, a charismatic and dreamer young man who longs to escape his monotonous day-to-day life. His world revolves around finding a way out of the country and seeking a better life in distant France. Alongside him is Anta, an equally ambitious and rebellious young woman who aspires to break free from the chains of the past and live a life of freedom and adventure. Together, they form a dynamic pair that moves between reality and their ideals of greatness.
The duo embarks on a journey filled with outrageous plans, clever heists, and an unyielding resilience in the face of adversity, all fueled by the hope of raising the money needed to board a ship that will take them to Paris. However, life in Dakar is not easy, and their dreams are fraught with obstacles. With a visual narrative that captures the energy of the city and its culture, the story reflects the struggles of a generation caught between tradition and modernity.
The film intertwines moments of humor, desperation, and a strong social critique, as Mory and Anta must confront their own choices and the realities of life. As their journey progresses, it becomes evident that true freedom may not lie solely in escape, but in finding purpose in the place they belong.
