Plot:
The French Jacques Arnault, who runs the fake ONG Move for Kids, arrives in Afrika with Dr. Laura Turine, the independent journalist Francoise Dubois and a team of volunteers. They are protected by the army and arrive at a protected place rented by their liaison Xavier Libert to be an orphanage for three hundred orphans of the local war and to vaccinate children. Jacques hires the local translator Bintou and other people to work as nannies, cooks, cleaning services and teachers in the orphanage. Then he visits chiefs of tribes to find orphans under five years old, facing difficulties to learn whether they are really orphans and their ages. What the Africans and some volunteers do not know is that Jacques is indeed dealing with an illegal adoption scheme to French families.
