In a world of music and dreams, Félicité, a Congolese singer in the city of Kinshasa, searches frantically for money to pay for emergency surgery for her 14-year-old son, injured in a motorcycle accident. She soon finds financial and emotional support from Tabu, one of the regulars in the bar where she performs.
