Jacques Arnault, president of the NGO "Move for Kids", has convinced French families in need of adoption to finance an operation to exfiltrate orphans from a war-torn African country. Surrounded by a team of volunteers dedicated to his cause, he has one month to find 300 young children and bring them back to France. But to succeed, he must persuade his African contacts and village chiefs that he will set up an orphanage and secure a future for these young victims of war, concealing the ultimate aim of his expedition... This film is freely adapted from "Sarkozy dans l'avion? Les zozos de la Françafrique" by François-Xavier Pinte and Geoffroy d'Ursel.
