Film Description

A powerful business man is about to marry a third wife, much to the disgust of his other wives and daughters. On his wedding night he is unable to perform as someone has cast a 'xala', a curse rendering him impotent. This funny and satirical film mocks the powerlessness of the then political leaders of Senegal.
