1984. After experimenting with an alternative way of life in Paris, the 'Tribe' embarks on a grand project: a journey around the world to rediscover nomadic life and sensitize the world to the ecological cause. But soon family and press say that the members of the group are being manipulated. Their 'guide', Norman William, is holed up in Belgium and tries to fund their activities, while he is under investigation. The ambiguity of his intentions soon becomes apparent, as do his different faces.
