- The film is a road movie through Senegal, a journey to support the nomination of African Women for the Nobel Peace Prize. Actually, they are the unquestioned protagonists of the documentary: strong, tireless, always available, ironic and joyful, in these years they have been playing a key role both in daily life and the social and political activities of the African Continent. The journey-reportage is filled with spontaneous interviews and it starts from the World Social Forum Dakar 2011, to arrive to Sendou, where women, during a big celebration, teach sex education to prevent AIDS. The journey continues with the women cooperative for fish drying in Bargny Minam village , then the women of the group Kaye Bahk of Mbour, which finance their agricultural activities through the micro-funding; and young girls from Pikine, a city in the suburbs of Dakar which through the project of school adoption during these years has reached a mainly female education. The journey goes on with the story of a polygamous family and the meeting with COFLEC (La Collectif des Femmes pour la Lutte contre l'Emigration Clandestine - association of women fighting against illegal immigration).
