- Summary
- The film portrays the hectic life of the 'Great Z', an engine driver of the Abidjan-Ouagadougou line for 20 years, laid off in 1995 by the National Railways of Burkina Faso following the privatization imposed by the World Bank An inveterate hedonist to the bone, he suddenly found himself struck down as he was experiencing pure joyfulness. He has lost everything: job, friends and wife. Since then, waiting for his retirement pension, he has lived a gloomy life. This is a tragicomedy as restless and melancholic as this poet of the out-of-work.
