Gilles is a man who has been living on the streets for 20 years. He has always been homeless and he has learned to survive and cope like so many others, but his personal story leads us to his passion: trains. His grandfather was a railwayman and, since his childhood, he has had a rather particular relationship with the railway world. Evoking the memory of his grandfather and his past takes us on a return to the places of his childhood: a journey into his memory; but today, things have changed.

On the African continent, the informal economy has established itself as the primary source of income for its inhabitants. The street has become a fertile ground for commerce of all kinds. Showcasing informal commercial exchanges, sidewalks and carriageway pavements constitute the place of inspiration and survival for all human resources. Today, two out of three city-dwellers make a living from resourcefulness. Everyone can find a place and build their street "business". Today, it's the only way to survive in a society in full economic development and shaken by inequalities. In Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, we follow the daily lives of these people who work to survive and make ends meet. Through some portraits of these street workers, we show the reality of Africa. We also learn that this continent is bubbling with energy, that its inhabitants are the main actors of their own success and that their model of society is comparable to no other because it's essentially the result of a resilient strategy of survival.

A man who has everything, who has made a success of his life and who has no enemies suddenly finds himself the prey of an entire city and its unleashed inhabitants. Gradually, we will learn more about him.
