In a busy street of Bamako, a young girl about twenty-five years old, Ra, repairs generators. She does "a man's job". Ra works in the rhythm of seasons. Ra gives much importance to social relationships: she supervises young boys from twelve to fifteen years old and participate to the tontines organized by the young girls of her district. Wrecked generators are recovered by young Kaba who transforms them into crockery. On Ra's wedding day, the presents given to her by her friend Kadi included things made out from the recovered generators and sold by the young Kaba.
