Synopsis

People no longer know what medical assistants were: neither the Belgians, who created this medical category during the colonization of the Belgian Congo, nor the Congolese people, who have let this part of their history sink into oblivion. Tracing the steps of her grandfather - formerly a medical assistant, now a doctor - the Congolese filmmaker uses this family history to portray her country 37 years after independence.
