"Before, we were poor but we didn't know it because we lived contently in the forest". Discovering the outside world the Bagyéli Pygmies have seen that they are very poor. Angeline, Marcelline and Pascal are 3 Pygmies who have discovered cars, solid houses and money, and strongly resent that they don t have the right to all that. Following their personal dreams, they encounter the complexities of change that the world imposes on hunter-gatherers. And through their point of view, the film tells us of a story about a small population that doesn't want to disappear.
