Synopsis

Gito is a Burundian student who lives in Paris. When he finishes his studies, he decides to go back to his country and promises his French girlfriend that he will call her when he becomes a minister, something that he is convinced will happen. However, he loses gradually his ambition as he is confronted with the country's reality. He thus starts going out again with his childhood loved one.
