Summary
  • This has been described as 'an uncomfortable comedy' filmed to emphasize the physical traits of the overweight hero. It recounts his misfortunes and humilations as he tries to cash a cheque sent to him by his nephew in Paris. Shot on location in Dakar with a non-professional cast it is, compared to Sembene's other films, social rather than political in dramatising petty greed and jealousy and the distance between officialdom and the people.
