In 1892, French colonial troops plundered thousands of treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey, known today as the Republic of Benin, situated on the west coast of Africa between Togo and Nigeria. In November 2021, 26 of these priceless historical artefacts were returned home. A feature-length documentary dramatises the reunion, intercut with footage of students at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin sharing their thoughts about appropriation and restitution.
