      Auterish without taking itself too seriously

      The stories of the three "bendskineurs" proceed in parallel as they were different shorts. Despite hard topics such as pregnancy; rape; deception and homicide make their way along the narration, the mood keep itself quite close to the one of the comedy, resulting in a final product being able to mix drama and humour.

      In addition, the cinephile is going to appreciate the numerous quotes from African classics such as "Touki Bouki", "Quartier Mozart" and all those I can't catch yet.

      PLUS Humour and the quotes that show the real love of the director, a former "bendskineur" himself, for cinema.

      MINUS Some coincidences working as breakthroughs seems forced, undermining a little the credibility of the storyline.

      WOW A dialogue between a "bendskineur" and his passenger made me fly.
