Using interviews with witnesses and reconstructions of key moments in court, the film examines the main issues in the trial: nutrition, animals, advertising, employment, the environment, and freedom of speech.

Despite the protests, big neo-colonial business flourishes, and the promises of new roads and hundreds of jobs turn out to be an illusory mirage. The stories of the fishermen Paul and Abou and the selling fish Mariam create an intimate frame for the story of the stolen development of West Africa and the compulsion to look for a better life in Europe.
