In a vibrant neighborhood of Dakar, a humble fish vendor finds himself at a crossroads in his daily life. It all begins when he receives news that a relative in France has sent him a money transfer to help his family. With that fresh hope in mind, our protagonist decides to embark on an unexpected journey that will lead him to confront a series of bureaucratic obstacles, betrayals, and a system that seems to be against him. What started as a simple financial transaction turns into a biting portrait of the struggle for dignity and the efforts of an ordinary person facing the harsh realities of urban life.

As he navigates the bureaucracy and the machinations of friends and enemies, a world filled with extravagant characters unfolds, reflecting the social and economic tensions of the time. The story unveils expectations and disappointments while exploring deep themes of identity, colonialism, and the desire for self-improvement. Amid laughter and tears, the fish vendor discovers that the true value of life is not always measured in money, but in human connections and the indomitable spirit found in the heart of every individual. As the drama unfolds, it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with money, power, and community. In this emotional journey, every decision counts, and the future feels as uncertain as it is hopeful.
