Synopsis

A young Cameroonian diplomat goes home and feels divided between the habits of life learned in Europe and African traditions. In his house, everything is European, from the furniture to the cooking and music. But his wife, who has not shared his European experience, cannot understand him. During a very formal reception, the servants begin to play the tam-tams, accentuating the cultural conflict.
