    • Synopsis
    • MARCO, a discreet janitor and comic book enthusiast, works in a pediatric hospital in Dakar. Reserved around adults but deeply connected to children, he shares his drawings and warmth with young patients. One day, Henri, an overwhelmed father, asks MARCO for help in communicating with his six-year-old daughter Anita, who has withdrawn into silence. A tender relationship develops between MARCO and the child, rekindling a forgotten joy within him. But their fragile bubble is threatened by Moustik, a strict security guard carrying invisible wounds of his own.
