Benita Jacques, a young mother from Montreal, is seeking answers about her origins, questions that have always been unanswered. Determined to enlighten her children about their heritage, she travels to West Africa. Her journey begins at the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar, where she explores the exhibition ""Africa, Cradle of Humankind and Modern Civilizations."" In her quest to understand the lives of her ancestors before the deportation, she meets experts and traverses time through spiritual, historical, and scientific testimonies, discovering the remnants of the continent's golden age.
