2023, 84 min

In this witty and heartfelt comedy-drama, Idrissa, a former civil servant in Dakar, blames Dominique Strauss-Kahn and IMF austerity for his unemployment and mounting frustrations. While his wife Viviane’s medical practice keeps the family afloat, Idrissa’s bruised ego drives him to an unconventional solution—a marabout’s help for revenge. Amid economic chaos, their daughter Aminata and her boyfriend Moussa navigate love and uncertainty. This film cleverly balances humor and heart while exploring family dynamics and the absurdities of global economics.
