Synopsis

Shot in Cameroon and Brussels, this documentary explores the world of African antiquities and the contradictions in a European art market hungry for new tribal objects.
Where do the African masks come from? Who determines the economic and aesthetic value of these objects now that colonialism is supposedly dead?And then there's a continent called Africa, in need of economic resources and therefore willing to sell its cultural heritage or, if need be, to fake it. The authenticity of the objects becomes blurred when the people that once adored them start to sell them.
