It's discomforting, but informative, to watch this slice-of-life movie as it depicts the circumstances of a young man at the bottom of the urban Third World socioeconomic order in the Ivory Coast, as an immigrant from Niger who would have stayed home had he known what was in store for him. The chief virtue of the film, described by some reviews as ethnofiction, is the wealth and rarity of its footage from the 1950s, from west Africa, all in vivid color.
