Synopsis:

Shad and Otho, two friends from the Ivory Coast, embark on a European adventure. They dream of returning home as benefactors or heroes. Otho is deported and returns to his country empty-handed. He becomes an outcast. Shad pursues his dream with Tango, a slightly strange white woman he meets in a supermarket. Their brotherly friendship gives them both wings. Otho tries to resist his fall, while Shad fights to keep going. A final dual brings the two friends together again: there's neither a winner nor a loser.

Shad and Otho leave their home in Abidjan on the Ivory Coast to start a new life in Europe. There, they hope to make their fortune and return to their families as heroes, laden with riches. But things do not quite go as they planned. Arriving at the Spanish border, Otho is captured by the police and sent back to his home country, where he is ill-received by his family. Meanwhile, Shad manages to evade the police and, after several harrowing escapades, he finally reaches England...
