Tha long ospadail shònraichte a tha a' toirt seachad obair-lannsa aig muir, a' dèanamh air na daoine as bochda ann an Afraga. Chan eil aca ach aon bhliadhna airson an obair do-dhèanta seo a dhèanamh - cùram a' thoirt do dhaoine nach fhaigh e ann an àite sam bith eile. Tha baile Benin air a roinn eadar Crìostaidheachd, Ioslam agus Voodoo, creideamh far a bheil cuid a' creidsinn gur e mallachd a tha ag adhbharachadh na galaran uabhasach a tha iad a' faicinn an seo, coltach ris a' chnap a th' air aodann Elisabeth a tha cho mòr 's gu bheil i ga cumail fhèin air falach. Cuideachd, tha Ramani a' tighinn a-steach le cnapan cnàimh air aodann, tha Vivienne ann le cnap uabhasach air a beul agus tha Elie a' dol ann le famhaireachd na chas chlì.

A unique hospital ship offering life-saving surgery sets sail for the poorest of the poor in Africa. It has just one year to do the impossible - to provide the care these people cannot get any other way.

Benin is home to Christianity, Islam and Voodoo, a religion where some believe curses cause monstrous deformities like 20-year-old Elisabeth's facial tumour, which is so large she hides in the shadows. Also, Ramani comes with huge overgrowth of his facial bones, mother-of-six Vivienne arrives with a life-threatening jaw tumour and Elie who has localised gigantism of his left foot and leg. Show less
