The film begins with the arrival of French adoption-agency workers in war-torn Chad. Masquerading as an NGO called Move for Kids, they claim that they will house, feed, and educate orphans in a safe compound until the children are eighteen years old. The local villagers, though somewhat puzzled by the foreigners' definition of "orphan," are seduced by the idea of giving their children a better life. But what the villagers don't know - though the audience does - is that these French "NGO" workers have no intention of staying. In the light of day, led by the relentless Jacques (Vincent Lindon), they search for children with the help of local interpreter Bintou (promising newcomer Rougalta Bintou Saleh). But under the cover of night, they discuss their exit strategy and make calls to French families about the children they'll be bringing home. (Toronto International Film Festival)

After watching the movie, I was a bit sorry that the French tended to describe quite an interesting premise, but they approached it in such a way that would put to sleep even a mermaid in the ocean. The thing is the topic is pretty interesting for somebody who isn’t involved in this and it seems to be telling the story of people who have a tendency to help in Africa and who have quite good plans for the world around them. However, while watching the film, you get to know absolutely nothing. You will rather have the feeling that the group of people are simply watching and observing what’s going on around them, which is definitely not too far from the truth. But evidently they actually helped out over there. But how? A movie without an opinion, without answers, without a spirit and without life…
