Baye Fall is a Muslim practice derived from mouridism, a Sufi based faith deeply rooted within Senegalese culture. Through the story of one family, the film explores the beliefs and lifestyle of Baye Fall followers.

The Gaston Berger University in Senegal has nearly five thousands students. The University canteen assures all these people their daily food. It is a food chain operating each day from the early hours of daybreak until the twilight of dusk. The film reveals the slow and meticulous transformation of food, but also the bodies at work of the individuals of both sexes who prepare and serve the meals.
