Following a difficult journey across Europe, Aleksei reaches Paris where, as a clandestine, he enlists in the Foreign Legion. When his battalion is sent to the Niger Delta, he comes up against Jomo, the leader of an eco-revolutionary militia fighting the oil companies’ destruction of the territory, who dreams of dancing with his sister Udoka in Paris’ nightclubs.
