Why is Madagascar so rich but so poor? What does the presence of foreigners in Africa hide? This fiction is inspired by a true story.

An American humanitarian worker crosses Madagascar to make a donation, equipped with an ice pick and a GPS. The Minister, who has a lot to lose in this affair, requests Lova and her two beaux to act as guides. Nevertheless, the island and its many pitfalls defeat the foreigner, who thought he was on safe ground.
