Private Notes
In the extreme north-west of Nepal, the Limi Valley hides behind a series of peaks exceeding 6000 m in altitude. During the winter, she finds herself cut off from the world. To deliver vaccines and medicines there, a handful of men and women embark on an adventure lasting several days. The team alternates walking and trips in 4/4. But, mule caravans prove to be a much more reliable means of transport than all-terrain vehicles. The western regions are the most isolated in the country. Traveling its tracks is, each time, a dance with death. Nagendra drives his truck to the edge of the abyss, ready to take all the risks to deliver on time and support his family.
On the island of Madagascar, the tracks are in poor condition, ravaged by the numerous tropical cyclones that ravage the region and the lack of maintenance. During the rainy season, which lasts nearly six months, the roads deteriorate further. Here, only tractors are big enough to face these tracks. At the wheel of his metal giant, Thierry's mission is to transport four tons of food to a village cut off from the world. A six-hour drive from the capital, on the Hauts Plateaux, the village of Antanetibe organizes the great Malagasy ritual: "the turning of the dead". In the capital, salvagers bring everything that's broken back to life. One of them, Marcelin unearths parts intended for the dumpster to transform them into everyday objects that he resells on the markets.
