Synopsis
The small village of Sakiré is bearing witness to the most intense days of its history. Could a huge BP oilduct disrupt the peace and fresh air of this peaceful Caucasian village? The film is a human comedy with a universal dimension, a modern fairytale, interweaving, in a unique way, local reality with a global dimension. It is a parabola of globalization: small communities, from any other country, tied to their roots and customs could experience the same emotions if they were confronted with decisions coming from more powerful, distant countries.
