Patrice, 50, is Togolese. During a trip to France, a serious heart condition forced him to stay there to follow a treatment on which his life depended. In total destitution, he had to leave his wife, his 4 children, and a good situation in the country. From precarious jobs to administrative procedures, he chose to overcome this tragedy and fight, by creating his company importing organic exotic fruits. The film tells the story of the fight of this man who, despite fragile health, an unstable situation and an extremely complex project, maintains courage and great dignity.
