What started as a drama about a Russian police plot to steal a billion dollars from a US financier and to murder his faithful tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, has become a real life investigation of contradicting versions of the crime. The Magnitsky Case is central for the policy of blacklisting bad guys from Putin's Russia ("Magnitsky List"), which was then adopted by the West in retaliation for Russia's actions in Ukraine. Shockingly for the film's director, dissident and Putin basher Andrei Nekrasov, the official Western story turns out to have serious flaws.

Au plus profond de la brousse, serpente une longue caravane de zébus. Lancés dans une transhumance de plusieurs mois, quatre jeunes garçons: Ama, Ousséni, Hassan et Lela ont quitté leur famille, décidés à offrir de meilleures pâtures à leur troupeau . Guidés par ces enfants, nous vivons un voyage diurne dans les paysages du Burkina Faso, puis, lorsque tombe la nuit, nous partageons les peurs et les désirs de ces enfants Peulhs. Le film nous propose alors un second voyage, plus sédentaire, celui des jeunes filles restées au village. Sans pudeur, nous vivons les rites qui jalonnent leur jeunesse jusqu’à leur maturité. Auprès de cette famille Peulh, nous découvrons leurs gestes quotidiens, leurs caractères et leurs croyances, nous explorons au plus proche ce mode de vie unique, pastoral et nomade.

Based on the personal experience of the filmmaker during the Gaza war of 2014. “It's Ramadan…a very hot summer…with no electricity and no fan…We thought it would be like the 1st and 2nd wars, but this one is different! It’s madness all day and all night long... We sleep a little here and there when the shelling stops.. It is unbearably hot, as if hell opened its doors. Heat, fires and death... The sky is crimson red all night long as if with fireworks, like a horror movie and we are in it…”
