The film is in French and Dioula.

Synopsis

Quelque part en Afrique. Après dix ans d'une guerre civile sanglante, les Nayaks, ethnie du Président, et les Bonandés, rebelles rassemblés autour du Colonel Théo, sont sur le point de célébrer les accords de paix en organisant une fête de la réconciliation. Mais le souvenir encore vivace des atrocités commises de part et d'autre assombrit peu à peu les festivités.
