Where Zebus Speak French plot

For the residents of Sitabaomba in Madagascar, French is not the language of love, but the language of the colonizer. They speak French when they direct their zebus in the fields to the left or right, and Malagasy when they tell stories. Camera footage is mixed with animation, puppetry and kabary - the Malagasy rhetoric - in this film, which follows Ly and his fellow villagers as they struggle to protect their country from violations by the state, army generals and multinational corporations.
