The Democratic Republic of Congo could feed almost 1 in 2 people on Earth. Yet one in six Congolese people suffer from hunger. Yet one in two Congolese suffers from moderate acute malnutrition. Yet agriculture accounts for 70% of the population there. Faced with this paradox, the peasants regroup in agricultural cooperatives. A handful of them share their daily lives with us, that of all those they represent. Even if they don't know each other, live thousands of hundreds of kilometers from each other, participate in different agricultural sectors, their voices resonate in this powerful, sensitive and sincere documentary.

Mientras seguimos a Jemima, una niña curiosa que vaga por caminos polvorientos, mercados abarrotados, mataderos y escenas de caza de murciélagos, encontramos a otras tres mujeres que describen las duras realidades de nacer mujeres y sordas en una sociedad que lo ve como un defecto y el otro como posesión demoníaca. La película sigue las luchas cotidianas de Immaculée, Sylvie y Stuka contra la marginación, el abuso y la opresión. A pesar de las barreras insuperables impuestas por la sociedad, la voluntad fuerte e invicto de los protagonistas les permite tomar control de su destino cada día, revelando la hermosa capacidad de recuperación del espíritu humano.
