This portrait of Zomo, the second child of Damouré Zika, takes us on a visit to the Niamey Zoo, where he works. But the film is mainly an anthropological study about work and leisure time, and we learn about the local folk music, through which we hear about the life of young people in Niger, including their worries and their private lives.
