Every night, charismatic singer Félicité’s exhilarating music captivates the audience in a bar in Kinshasa. One day her son ends up in hospital due to a serious motorbike accident and she has to find money to fund the operation. What follows is an odyssey through the richer and (mainly) poorer parts of the Congolese capital.
But should she be searching so far afield? Perhaps one of the bar’s regulars can help her, the imposing Tabu, a womanizer who never declines a drink. Can the proud, independent Félicité turn a blind eye to his behavior? When her son is released from hospital, her spartan flat with its broken fridge becomes a safe haven for the eccentric trio, an oasis of calm amid the chaos in the streets.
