Synopsis

Dressing up and showing off are the ways the jet set in Congo averts or conceals their poverty. Some of the jet setters are musicians; others are sportsmen, or even politicians. They have their fan clubs and their TV broadcasts. Between the bling-bling and the slums, between Congo and Belgium, fantasized as synonymous with success, the film transgresses the hidden side of immigration: “Nobody can live without hope, and when reality does not offer any, one is forced to invent it.”
