Zika, a cute little name of a forest in Uganda has become synonymous with a mosquito-born flavivirus that was identified there in 1947. Virtually forgotten until 2013 when an outbreak of 10 000 cases was reported in French Polyniesia, the virus has taken a worldwide spotlight. In October 2015, Brazil reported an association between Zika virus infection and microcephaly. The film travels to French Polynesia into the heart of the difficult combat against the Zika virus.
