Mireille Ngatsé lived in a Jean Prouvé-designed aluminum house in Brazzaville, which was comfortable despite lacking electricity and running water. She loved the fresh air and light from the round windows. The house was later taken away by four French men and is now exhibited globally as a precious art object.

Mali-born filmmaker Manthia Diawara's documentary is a companion piece to Ângela Ferreira's artistic project on Jean Prouvé's Maison Tropicale, which debuted at the 2007 Venice Biennale.
