A film that portrays the adventures of three friends in the Nigerian bush. Lam decides to travel into the bush in an old 2CV van and with a helper, to buy some chickens in the villages in order to go into business. A third person, integrated after a fashion into the group, weakens the already precarious organisation of this venture. The van plays a leading role in their journey, which leads them from Niamey into the bush. The trip is characterised by outrageous events such as the meeting with a she-devil or the crossing of the Niger, all pretexts for countless discussions and torrents of words.
