Debout un pied

Oméga Dream, who has been trying to leave for 23 years, wanders along the quay of a major African port, unable to board a ship. There he meets Julie Rose, whom he rescues from police patrols preventing access to departing vessels. She says she is waiting for Benson-de-la-mer, the legendary smuggler, who is to help her leave the country.

Together, they will try to board a ship, tell their story, talk about their country, about that overwhelming desire to leave it, and also about the fear of leaving.

L’Indéfini, part griot, part storyteller, a ghostly witness, recounts the repeated attempts and failures of those who ‘commit’ to leaving.

But, between hope and lies, isn’t the line sometimes a fine one?

A story seldom heard: that of the impossibility of leaving.
