How do we move in the world and how does it get along? The lapping rocks the Venetians on their rowing boats. The clicking of hooves punctuate the daily lives of Dakar residents: horse-drawn carriages transport all types of materials there. And finally the roar of Prey Nup’s three-wheeled tuk-tuks accompany the travellers. From Italy, passing through Senegal and as far as Cambodia, a sound journey on three continents.
