En el sur de Senegal, en la región de Saloum, hay sitios arqueológicos excepcionales que datan del siglo IV antes de J.C. : los "montículos conchíferos". La película reseña la historia embrionaria de esta comunidad que se alimentaba a base de mariscos y proyecta luz sobre la riqueza de este patrimonio senegalés.

In the region of Saloum in southern Senegal are to be found a series of exceptional archaeological sites dating from the 4th Century BC - the Shell Mounds. The film tells the ancient story of the people who lived there - the eaters of seashells - and highlights the interest of this original piece of Senegalese cultural heritage.
