This intimate documentary delves into the phenomenon of African online scamming, and draws out its insightful sociological and political undertones.

The charismatic “Rolex the Portuguese” is back in Côte d’Ivoire after an ambitious, failed scheme in neighboring Burkina Faso.  With his companions, aged between 15 and 25, he makes a living from casual trade, particularly through a form of online scamming.  Assertively, and with a wholesome sense of justice, they cunningly take advantage of the monetary largesse of white women in search of love, and then blow the money on their own nocturnal indulgences.
