Mambety's feature debut, its Wolof title translating as the journey of the hyena, follows two young lovers riding a motorcycle mounted with a zebu skull across Dakar as they scheme to reach Paris, mixing surreal imagery with a portrait of post-independence disillusionment.
Fun fact: Mambety made the film four years after his first short, Contras' City, and it is now held in the Criterion Collection as a touchstone of African New Wave cinema.
