À l'École des Sables au Sénégal, des danseurs venus de toute l'Afrique suivent une formation intensive de trois ans sous la direction de Germaine Acogny. Dans cet espace panafricain de transmission, les corps portent mémoire, identité et imaginaire collectif. Une transformation lointaine, à peine perceptible, semble pourtant menacer cette idylle.
