Little senegal

The old man Alloume works as a tourist guide at one of Senegal's historical sites. Every day he tells stories about how the slaves were shipped to America, and one day he decides to go there himself in search of his family roots. Soon, he tracks down some of his relatives in New York, but things don't turn out quite like he planned. Internal racism between Africans and African-Americans, strained relationships and unexpected love are some of the things that he suddenly has to deal with.

This sincere story tells us about the hardships of an ethnic minority that´s often overlooked, but also about non-ethnic issues like the difference in moral values between the young and the old and between big city and small town people.
