A man stands at the mouth of a well, donning a rudimentary rope harness. Camera in hand, he dives into the well and starts a 126 meters drop, at the end of which he reaches two men working at the center of the earth. We have just entered the world of the traditional well-diggers of Niger. In the course of interviews of a master well-digger and his laborers, the film honors the tradition and customary know-how of these men who fight against sand in order to access water.
