This new Canadian film is produced by the famous production company "La fête". The producer is Rock Demers who has already produced some fascinating and original children’s films ("Bach et Botinne"). This is the story about Norbert, who has worked for 20 years as a humanitarian aid worker in Africa and is obliged to leave Africa, because of the civil war. He returns to Canada, his country of origin. However, he has no papers, and wants to return as soon as possible back to Africa! When he realizes he’s not going to be able to make it back to Africa legally, Norbert hooks up with a smuggler who agrees, for a price, to find him a berth on a cargo ship headed that way. But first of all, Norbert has to rid himself of his pet monkey, "Trotsky". The "orphan" Christophe is spoiling his plan ...A highly original story with a delicate subject about people without papers brought to life in a light hearted and profound way at the same time, thanks to excellent acting performances.
