Sènan is a doctor who lives and works in Paris. A call from her mother forces her to return to Benin to protect her community from a devastating epidemic. The villagers believe that the cause of the disease is a curse and ask Sènan to recover "Minonnan", a sacred statuette carried away during a colonial expedition, since its return would promote abundance and health. Then begins a great adventure in which myths, beliefs and thirst for justice are intermingled.

Producer's note
Africa is rich in its culture and values. As soon as this project was presented to me, instantly I loved it because it highlights the realities of the continent. This is not an anti-colonial film, but it is critical and deals with crucial values for the influence of Africa. We want to make an original, beautiful, strong and committed film; and we hope that it will be seen by the widest possible audience. We stand for an Africa proud of its sons and these latter proud of their roots.
