Harouna, Aboucabar, and Zeinabou, three Nigerien children all having extremely developed Noma, will be transferred to Europe to be ‘reconstructed’ there. Over between eight and twelve months – depending on their time of hospitalization – we follow the evolution of these children in a completely different social context from the one where they grew up : one being accommodated by a hosted family, the other in a foyer with other children from a wide variety of nationalities, all come to Europe to be treated.
