In the dense and shady forests of the Central African Republic lives a tribe of Baka pygmies; the average height of adults is only 140 centimeters; this makes Baka one of the smallest people on Earth. The movie shows us a traditional Baka family living in a hut made of tree leaves. Mother, father and their young children walk in loincloths, worship the forest spirits, dance to the rhythm of drums and eat cassava pancakes. But the family also has two teenage sons. As present-day teenagers in other countries do, they misbehave and adopt the modern ways: they smoke, wear jeans and T-shirts; the eldest son constantly listens to music from his radio receiver. An unexpected drama unfolds when the father sends the eldest son to the village to buy food for the family - and instead the son buys a memory card for his radio. The father laments - the more so because the father is no longer respected by his fellow tribesmen because of his son’s excessive infatuation with "Western civilization" values. As a result the family has to go into the forest: to collect wild honey and to hunt. But the "Big Outside World" cuts down the hundred-year-old trees driving virtually all game animals away from the remaining forest.
