At the head of his NGO Move For Kids, Jacques Arnault pulls some humanitarian workers in a country of Africa "to take in" orphan children. The operation is transformed in a panic.

A NGO is planning to exfiltrate 300 orphans victims of Chadian civil war and bring them to French adoption applicants. Immersed in the brutal reality of a country at war, the NGO members are faced with the limits of humanitarian intervention.—AnonymousB

The French Jacques Arnault, who runs the fake ONG Move for Kids, arrives in Afrika with Dr. Laura Turine, the independent journalist Françoise Dubois and a team of volunteers. They are protected by the army and arrive at a protected place rented by their liaison Xavier Libert to be an orphanage for three hundred orphans of the local war and to vaccinate children. Jacques hires the local translator Bintou and other people to work as nannies, cooks, cleaning services and teachers in the orphanage. Then he visits chiefs of tribes to find orphans under five years old, facing difficulties to learn whether they are really orphans and their ages. What the Africans and some volunteers do not know is that Jacques is indeed dealing with an illegal adoption scheme to French families.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
