A young boy from a rural Senegalese village travels 387 km to the capital city, Dakar, to meet his hero, a famous French actor named Seydou Tall, who decides to accompany him home. The bond that develops between the boy and the man grows deep along their journey, into a surrogate father-son relationship.
