In the canton of Boutefil at the gateway to the Chadian desert, unmarried women are accused by the Iman of being the source of the divine wrath on the village. The village chiefs decide to hold a traditional ceremony, the Amchilini, which consists in forcing all unmarried women to choose a husband. But there are voices, especially among young girls, against what they see as an attack to their dignity and freedom. They claim equal rights and autonomy as men.

The troupe quickly learn that the villagers are in desperate need of rice, not entertainment, but despite this the circus continues its performances, attracting an ever-growing audience.
