Synopsis

Little Moctar has never left his village. One day, a letter throws his life into confusion: he has to leave his life and his dearest people to join his father, who has emigrated to France five years earlier. Moctar cannot adjust to this new life; he feels ou of place far away from his village. He becomes anxious, and a hyena haunts him wherever he goes. His parents grow worried about his sanity; only Paulo, an eccentric sixty-year-old, understands little Moctar and helps him to win over his fears and face the hyena.
