Film footage from Simon’s journey to Madagascar.

The camera lens unmasks the everyday reality of a travel, stripping it from all exotic charm. Most importantly, however, it reveals the relevance of ethical dilemmas of travelling. (...) Simon shows how the quotidian economy of the post-colonial world brutally verifies the vision of an innocent exotic journey, and how tourism helps the stereotypical relations between the “visitors” and “locals” remain intact.
