Returning home after several years of exile, Stéphane, Léo, Boye Gaye and Cheikh come out of their silence and tell for the first time about their journey in the West. They speak of the reasons for their return and their incomprehension of the many Africans who are still trying to reach Europe at the risk of their lives. Their testimonies resonate with the story of Guy Roméo, a young Cameroonian who risked everything to find his idol in France, the rapper Mac Tyer.
