Synopsis: 

Kinshasa mboka té...A city unusual beyond belief. It is a paradoxe and a distraction. It lives on ever-renewing processes of thriving and surviving. People there are solide as rock and fragile as glass. Life is a wild race there. We must remain alert and wide awake. Kinshasa doesn't belong to anyone, yet it belongs to everybody. This is smoke and mirrors, what we exerpience there, we won't experience anywhere else, a total vibration. Everybody gives it a color, an interpretation.
