Plot

In 1975, Seyolo Zantoko graduates from medical school in Lille; he was the only African man in his class and circle of friends. He turns down a job in Zaire as the personal physician of President Joseph-Desiré Mobutu, as he wants to avoid the corruption associated with his country. Instead, he is hired by the mayor of Marly-Gomont, a small village in northern France. He calls his family and informs them that he got a job in France; in their excitement, his wife Anne and their two children, Sivi and Kamini, assume that they will move to Paris. They are soon disappointed to learn that they are living in a rural village. Seyolo's decision to live in France is primarily motivated by providing a better education for his children; he also hopes to apply for French citizenship.
