Seyolo, originally from Congo, graduates as a physician in France, in 1973. As he doesn’t want to go back to Africa and work for a dictator, he takes the opportunity to work as a rural doctor in a French village where there are 95% cows and only 5% people.
Back in the Congo, he tells his family, and everyone is really pleased with the news! Anne, his wife, even believes they’ll live in Paris. Seyolo doesn’t dare to tell her the truth… When they arrive at the village, under a gloomy sky out in the middle of nowhere, everyone’s disappointed.
En 1975, Seyolo Zantoko, médecin fraîchement diplômé originaire de Kinshasa, saisit l’opportunité d’un poste de médecin de campagne dans un petit village français. Arrivés à Marly-Gomont, Seyolo et sa famille déchantent. Les habitants ont peur, ils n’ont jamais vu de noirs de leur vie.
