Private Project

Like a tree in the city

In the heart of Abidjan, an unusual medical centre discreetly welcomes patients for a specific cure. Several stories intertwine: that of the place (owned by an academic specialising in talking drums), that of the Gp20 (a plant product derived from ancestral knowledge ans launched by a Doctor of Sociology) and that of a variety of enthusiastic patients undergoing treatment.
