From groove to sweat – Some poor families from the dry region of South Madagascar go to a nearby village to meet the First Lady during the election campaign, hoping to get some rice. It is the heart wrenching representation of the meeting of two opposite realities belonging to the same world: the political opportunism of the “important men” from the capital vis-à-vis the destitution of these families abandoned to their fate.
