In 1986, six hundred orphans and rural children from Burkina Faso were sent to Cuba with the mission of learning a trade and returning to develop their country in the midst of a revolution. But after the assassination in 1987 of the Burkinabe president, Thomas Sankara, the liquidation of the Revolution by Blaise Compaoré and the end of the Cold War, how to return, build themselves, exist ?


The story of this utopia of Red Africa, the epic memories of these children, are mixed with archive images sometimes reddened by the sand, the heat and the wind, sometimes faded, almost fading away, giving us a glimpse of the reminiscences of their revolutionary youth.
