Samba Traoré

Ten years after leaving home, Samba Traore (Bakary Sangaré) returns to his small village in Burkina Faso a wealthy man, his money gained from a botched gas station robbery in which his partner died. While police search for him, Samba is welcomed back by the villagers and uses his newfound cash and gambling winnings to open up a bar and begin construction on an elaborate house. However, guilt over his accomplice's death haunts Samba, and his increasingly erratic behavior disturbs his family.
