The tale of a No Government Organization - and also a non authorized one - who took orphans from their lost villages in the deep sub Sahara Africa.

Vincent Lindon gives here, one more time, a terrific performance as the leader of this surprising group, that fits him very well. Only him could have do this, or maybe Olivier Gourmet...
