Contras' City plot

A fictional documentary portraying the city of Dakar in Senegal, while we listen to a conversation between a Senegalese man (the director, Djibril Diop Mambéty) and a French woman, Inge Hirschnitz. As we travel through the city in a picturesque horse-drawn carriage, we chaotically dive into one popular neighborhood of the capital after another and discover one contrast after another.
