Synopsis

People no longer know what the medical assistants were: neither the Belgians, who created this medical category during the colonisation of the Congo; nor the Congolese, who have let this portion of their history sink into oblivion. Tracing the steps of her grandfather – formerly a medical assistant, now a doctor – a Congolese filmmaker uses a family history to portray 37 years of Independence.
