Sinopse
Just the time of a film, let’s have fun reversing the roles…, Let’s imagine it isn’t for the economists anymore to demonstrate their growth model, but for the farmers, artists, craftsmen, and streetwise sellers of all kinds to showcase their skills and unique reality to apply during a time of economic crisis., Welcome to Madagascar, the island where we prefer picturesque speech rather than graphics and equations., With proverbs, Blandine and Rado elaborate their speech. From used cans, Jao makes maracas, while others make toys and oil lamps. With zebu bones from the dump, some make soap and medication., Despite adversity and daily struggles, the Malagasy way of life is a mix of inventiveness, music, joie de vivre, fraternal support, and above all, a sense of creative recycling., In a world of consumerism and surproduction, “The Chinese make things, the Malagasy fix them.”
