Two immigrants of Soninke origin testify to their daily life in Paris: the youngest wants his family to come to Paris, while the older one advises him and denounces the evils of emigration. The migrations in the 1950s and 1980s of this ethnic group from Senegal, Mauritania and Mali then interact. How can two generations of immigrants succeed in understanding each other and in combining economic reality and loyalty to tradition?
