In 1990, during the dictatorship of Ould Taya, some Mauritanian cities hosting military bases were turned into death camps for hundreds of military offi cers. Twenty years after these events and seven years after the dictator's fall, Mahamadou Sy, a survivor of these camps living in France since then, goes back to Mauritania. After a long fl ight from Paris to Nouakchott (Mauritania), Mahmadou Sy starts a long journey taking him to cities and concentration camps from La Guerra to Inal and Jereida and to the places where he was held prisoner.

Director: Ousmane Diagana
