Sinekatalog’s take

A writer in Brussels' Matongé district is pressed by his editor to produce a travelers' book spiced with ethnic ingredients. The film plays with identity, expectation and diaspora. A smart, inventive pick for viewers interested in African voices in Europe.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
