The theme of rural exodus, inspired lots of african writers. In the past, the young peasant traditionally moved abroad temporarily to earn enough money for his establishment in the village. Nowadays, they leave the countryside without the idea of coming back and strongly believing that they will find in those delusional-towns all the means to get rich. Issa, in his turn, takes the road of the capital city. Before his departure, Aminata put a bracelet of bronze on his arm as a faithfulness and love token. Then starts for issa an inexorable series of of disillusionment, evil spell, mistakes, until that fatal night when, being persued by the police for a crime he didint commit, he fell to his death. A broken fate, a lifeless body with a glittering bracelet of bronze on his arm.
Before his departure toward the town, Aminata gives to her fiance Issa a bracelet of bronze. In the capital city however, Issa will become a gangster. He will die on the way back to his village. A gangster film in the american style which was a great success.
