A Nigerian, Gabai Baare, is followed from the Ivory Coast to Long Island, USA, as he conducts his job in the transnational trade of African art. Through commercial exchange the commoditization of these art objects is revealed, as is the negotiation of cultural values between European and American collectors and Africa artists and traders.
