Since 1991, the association Univers Sel has brought together salt workers from Guérande committed to passing on their craft know-how internationally. In Guinea-Bissau, it supports the salt producers of Kapatres in switching to solar salt-making techniques, which reduce the pressure on wood resources and the health risks linked to traditional boiling. This documentary follows the transfer of know-how between Guérande salt workers and Bissau-Guinean producers.
