The dancefloor is where 25-year-old Souleymane, nickname Grisgris, comes into his own—an electric, commanding presence, even with his paralyzed leg. But when his beloved stepfather falls gravely ill, Grisgris—played with verve by non-professional Souleymane Démé—strays from his comfort zone, joining a crew of petrol smugglers so as to generate the much-needed funds for his treatment. A rare and visually dazzling film from Chad, which premiered in competition at Cannes.
