Las orillas del mayor lago tropical del mundo, también considerado como la cuna de la humanidad, se han convertido en el escenario de la peor pesadilla de la globalización. En los años sesenta, en Tanzania, la perca del Nilo, un voraz depredador, fue introducida en el lago Victoria con fines científicos. Desde entonces, casi todas las poblaciones autóctonas de peces han sido diezmadas. Pero esta catástrofe ecológica dio a luz a una fructuosa industria ya que la carne blanca de la enorme perca se exporta a todo el hemisferio norte. Pescadores, políticos, pilotos rusos, prostitutas y comisarios europeos son los actores de un drama que va más allá de las fronteras de Tanzania. En el cielo, enormes aviones de carga procedentes de la ex Unión Soviética pasan por encima del lago, abriendo las puertas a un nuevo comercio: el de las armas.

Three no-budget semi-professional filmmakers finally get their due in this witty but respectful documentary. Director Frederic Sojcher visits three fellow Belgian auteurs whose ambitions outstrip their budgets, or their recognition. Max Naveaux is a projectionist who decided to take a stab at making movies himself, putting together small-scale war films whose realism was heightened by the fact that the Belgian Ministry of Defense gave him permission to use real bullets for one of his movies. Schoolteacher Jacques Hardy has dabbled in creating film noir, costume horror, and comic-book adventures, most starring his friend Christian Vranken, who makes his living as a church caretaker and insists on casting approval for his female co-stars. And Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a self-styled surrealist whose commitment to obscurity is great enough that he insists on being interviewed while wearing a ski mask.
