Malaïka, a young Congolese woman studying psychoanalysis in Switzerland, finds her life turned upside down during a seminar in Vienna. Coming from a wealthy family, her world suddenly collapses when she learns that her father, an influential man, is actively sought by Interpol following the collapse of a cobalt mine in the Congo, in which dozens of people died. All of them miners. Until now, the young woman has been entrenched behind a carefree life, but now she must face the unthinkable. Deprived, penniless, alone, hunted, she will forge a new identity while investigating her father’s misdeeds. Are the ambiguous characters she is confronted with throughout the episode really evil? Are they really that bad or are they just the result of history, their social conditions, or their impulses? False pretences, buried secrets, betrayals, murders, Malaïka is not at the end of her surprises.
