Synopsis
Corruption and racism are rife in a small African country which has
recently gained its independence, according to a pamphlet.
Certainly, trafficker Antoine Gravenoire seems not have been affected
by the transfer of power following decolonisation. The blacks may
occupy the prominent positions of state, but it is still the whites who
run the show, from behind the scenes. When the minister of health
is assassinated, his mistress, a white woman, flees to her former
husband. Will the two escape or will they have to face the mercy
of the lynch mob..?
