00:00 From the first images, the director immerses us in hell. Waterspouts, crossroads and flooded villages, population drowned in torrential rain, overflowing sewers. We are in Liberia. Here every summer the rainy season is one of the strongest in the world. In a few days, a fatal rain aggravates the difficulties of this country ruined by a devastating civil war. A water avalanche ravages all the dirt roads. The villages are cut off from the world.

Despite the state of the roads, FOFANA, a pick-up driver obsessed with money, decides to take penniless passengers to the other side of the country through the jungle. This trip against the natural elements quickly becomes a nightmare and reveals the terrible living conditions of the Liberians. With prodigious ingenuity, everyone tries as best they can to get out of it. The misfortune of the floods brings happiness to those who help the victims in exchange for a few cents. The pastors of a Baptist church transform the mass into a lucrative raffle... Soon the director reveals in this incredible film the dramatic reality of a bloodless country. Thousands of children are breaking stones from the age of 5 to "rebuild the country". At the risk of their lives, the employees of a multinational palm oil company are transported to the plantation in overloaded cattle trucks. For a miserable salary, crushed by the sun which has finally returned, they plant thousands of palm trees on their confiscated and devastated land...
