I saw this at an African film festival in DC in 2002. It follows a history student from Senegal who studies and works in Paris.
Better than La Haine, this film shows the stresses and strains of African expatriates in France. The student wants to get his PhD and return to Senegal to better life there. Everyone else in Paris (natives as well as other Africans) think he just wants to stay in France.
The protagonist is torn between two worlds. The ways of Senegal are now foreign to him, but neither is he European.
There is tension, violence, and sex and a good story. I wish I could show this to more people, but it's not available!!??!
