Europaland broaches the issue of the image of Europe of young Cameroonians. Among them Europe is both Heaven on Earth and the derivation of the African misery. The film follows the upcoming Cameroonian Reggae artist Ottou Ottou André Rodrigue taking the viewer on a trip through the social imagery of Europe as a ‘white man’s kontri’ (white man’s country).
