Synopsis

The Wild West comes to Africa in this raucous send-up of cultural colonialism—an influence on Djibril Diop Mambety’s TOUKI BOUKI—in which a young Nigerien man returns home from a trip to the United States with suitcase full of cowboy outfits in tow. Donning the western wear, he and his friends bring a taste of lawless frontier mayhem to their town.
