- Synopsis
- Cabascabo, a veteran of the French colonial army in Indochina, returns to his home town in Niger, acclaimed by friends and relatives. In fragmented flash-backs, he tells the story of his adventure and the battles in that distant land, “way beyond Mecca”… With his friends at the bar and the prostitutes in the night-clubs, any opportunity is good to boast about his adventures. For some time he basks in his glory as a veteran but, after squandering all he has, he cannot find work. Nobody respects his rank, not even at the building site where he is treated as a slave by his fellow workers. To survive with dignity, he can only go back and work the land, returning to his origins in rural society.
