Shin Mi-sik, a documentary photographer who loves Madagascar. He built four libraries for children in Africa. Three are in Madagascar and one is in Ethiopia. In order to protect children's innocence and artistry, this time we want to convey music to children. With 50 ukuleles supported by a Korean cultural foundation, he leaves for Madagascar with composer Taehwa Jang and 14 volunteers. After an 18-hour flight, the Little Prince arrives in Madagascar, an island with beautiful baobab trees. Although they are poor, they live with a positive outlook on life. A touching meeting takes place between the children waiting for the ukulele and the teachers and volunteers who created the songs for the children to play. The children, who find everything amazing, are absorbed in ukulele lessons and choir practice despite the hot weather. The beautiful performance and singing of a 50-member ukulele troupe and a 100-member choir resonate movingly at Trinity School, the beach, and Baobab Street in Morondava, Madagascar.
