synopsis

This journey in the heart of Africa is a hymn to life, just like the uncontrollable vegetation growing tightly around the Congo River. On the banks, images chime out the joys and suffering of a people as well as the celebrations and ceremonies that punctuate existence. It shows that beyond the darkness and the tragic and violent history of this continent lies happiness and hope, that of rituals, songs and dances.
Ce voyage au coeur de l’Afrique est un hymne à la vie, tout comme la végétation incontrôlable qui pousse à proximité du fleuve Congo. Sur les rives, les images transmettent la joie et la souffrance des habitants ainsi que les célébrations et cérémonies qui marquent l’existence. Cela montre qu’au-delà de l’histoire tragique et violente de ce continent, il y règne le bonheur et l’espoir, celui des rituels, des chansons et des danses.
