At the beginning of each season, long-distance runners from Kenya come to earn a living by winning amateur races, weekend after weekend. They are not great champions, they will never go to the Olympic Games; they run for the length of their tourist visas, in order to win money needed to allow their families to survive for a few months. Between victories and time-outs for injuries, we follow a team of Kenyans who run in Northern France and Belgium. They introduce us to the world of amateur running, between those runners who wish to improve their health and body, and those who struggle and wear themselves out, race after race, with the sole purpose of raising modest earnings in order to survive. The North meets the South, off the beaten track.
