Nisha and Steeve, two young people of different races and social backgrounds, flee the parental roof to live their love freely. They take the express bus ("bisanvil", in Mauritian Creole) between Quatre Bornes and Port Louis. Other passengers make the trip: Nani, a grandmother of Indian origin, and her nine-year-old son, Roshan; Zougadere, an inveterate gambler, whose only objective is to arrive in Port Louis in time to go to the races; Piow, a stubborn old man who, having got on the wrong bus, wants to get off at all costs, to the great displeasure of Idriss, the conductor, who rules over his bus with an iron fist. During this epic journey, this little world gets excited, enters into conflict and reconciles under the amused eye of Roshan. A slice of life that paints a colorful portrait of Mauritian society and its contradictions.
