In Guinea Conakry, driving their truck, Mamady and his sons face torrential downpours that make the track nightmarish. The abundant rains and the 1,300 streams and rivers that run through the country have given it its nickname: the water tower. However, running water is rare in the country and, to have access to it, it is sometimes necessary to install giant cisterns. Transporting these tanks in bush taxis over the rutted tracks is no small feat. After the palm oil harvest, which provides a minimum income for the inhabitants, only motorbikes can transport the precious liquid. Loaded with dozens of cans, they set off on chaotic tracks on which anything can happen.
