The port city of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, on the west coast of Africa is a magnet and a juggernaut, cultural melting pot and for many the gateway to the world. Dakar is modern in its own, very African way. The women are independent and proud, this is true for the only black female surfer in the country as well as for the fashion designer or the fisherwoman on the city beach. The documentary also shows that in Dakar the love of life and the struggle for survival are not mutually exclusive. On the offshore island of Gorée, an old trading post that is now a World Heritage Site, the old Dakar still lives on, and on the city beaches along the Corniche, young people also meet to wrestle, the country's national sport.
