Synopsis
This Belgian comedy follows African king Mani Kongo (Gérard Essomba), who journeys to Brussels in order to track down his daughter, Mwana (Dominique Mesa), who left their homeland to study medicine. As he searches for Mwana, the ruler discovers shocking revelations -- namely that she isn't in school, and leads a trouble-filled life that includes dating cabbie Chaka-Jo (Jean-Louis Daulne). While abroad, the king must also contend with considerable prejudice, making his quest far from easy.
