在这部土狼喜剧/剧情片中,这是西非国家塞内加尔导演Djibril Diop Mambety拍的一部片子,他重新讲述了瑞士作家Friedrich Durrenmatt编写的剧本《The Visit》,一个古老而逐渐衰老的非洲小镇,开始依靠出卖公共财产来偿还债务,这时候一个以前镇里的居民、现在极为富有的女人回到了这个小镇,于是故事就这样开始纵横交错的铺陈开来。
A once-prosperous Senegalese village has been falling further into poverty year by year until the village's elders are reduced to selling town possessions to pay debts. Linguère, a former resident and local beauty, now very rich, returns to this, the village of her birth. The elders hope that she will be a benefactor to the village. To encourage her generosity, they appoint a local grocer, Dramaan, as mayor--who once courted her and will now try to persuade her to help. In fact, Linguère has returned with the intention of sharing her millions with the village but only in return for an unexpected action. This plot twist brings human folly and cynicism into sharp focus.
