Plot
After completing his schooling, the young, arrogant Malo has come to a small Cameroonian village as a teacher. Since he believes that book learning is unlikely to benefit his students, he shocks the school administrator (and the villagers) by leading his charges out into the bush, teaching them some practical skills in the process and sharing some insights into what it means to be male and female. However, not only is he innovative, but Malo has a gift for alienating everyone in sight: when he fails to observe the proper customs for a bridegroom, his new father-in-law feels that his family has been shamed, and commits suicide. Malo is definitely not the only misguided person in this rare film from Cameroon, but he is surely the most outstanding. ~ Clarke Fountain, RoviCredit
