The well-known saxophonist Manu Dibango comes back to Cameroon, his native country, and tells us his story: in a way, the story of a happy colonized man. Béatrice Soulé restores for us with happiness Manu's childhood memories, the sweetness of the village, and the kind presence of the tribe during the first years, before the departure in metropolis. Then, the director becomes the musician's fellow and focuses on his music career and the colonial life of his country thanks to significant historic documents. Manu, conscious of being protected by his talent is not commented. All the African subtlety is expressed in the musician's eloquent silences as well as in the sophisticated simplicity of his music that we have the pleasure to hear throughout the film.
