In the French city of Le Havre, a kind man named Marcel Marx works as a shoe-shiner. He lives a modest life and takes care of his sick wife, Arletty. One day, Marcel crosses paths with a young refugee boy from Gabon named Idrissa. The boy is trying to reach London to reunite with his mother. Marcel decides to help Idrissa, even though it puts him at odds with the police. With the help of his friends and neighbors, Marcel forms a plan to hide Idrissa and try to get him to safety. Amidst a series of challenges and encounters, Marcel's act of kindness touches the hearts of those around him, leading to a miraculous cure for his wife and a newfound hope for the community.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), the mission doctor, theologian and philosopher who founded a hospital in the rainforests of Gabon, achieved sainthood in his lifetime, at least in the popular imagination. The critical assessment of his life and works in recent years, however, has been slightly more ambivalent. Ba Kobhio Bassek is the first director to examine this medical missionary from a purely African point-of-view.
