In Bangladesh, men attack the northern hills to cut precious bamboo which they assemble into a large floating raft. To reach the capital Dacca, three hundred kilometers of marshes and rivers await them. In the middle of wild landscapes, the journey of this extraordinary convoy will last almost a month. This indomitable monster, 80 meters long and 40 meters wide, is operated by six men.
