Gwetto
Jelco, Justin, Rabetsy and Mamy work in a car wash, Ndaty is a rickshaw driver. They came from different regions of Madagascar to work in Tamatave, the economic capital. Cut off from their families, these young people develop a solidarity and fraternity born from their daily work together. As undocumented workers, they are exploited by a boss imposing his presence through a security camera. Also night watchmen at the car wash, they face violence and are regularly suspected of theft by neighbors. The director, who was born and raised in the neighborhood, takes another look at these young people in a polyphonic narrative.
