A rich businessman in Senegal is cursed with crippling erectile dysfunction upon the day of his marriage to his third wife; the only cure is brutal public humiliation.
A wealthy Senegalese businessman finds his status and ego stripped away when a sudden impotence halts his third wedding. This biting satire trades luxury for the stinging reality of public disgrace to mock the corruption of the ruling class.
