Mory, a cowherd who rides a motorcycle mounted with a cow's skull, and Anta, a university student, have met in Dakar, Senegal's capital. Alienated and disaffected with Senegal and Africa, they long to go to Paris and work up different con schemes to raise the money. Mory steals clothing and money from a wealthy gay man who had brought him home, and he and Anta book passage on a ship to France.
Though influenced by 'French New Wave', Touki Bouki displays a style all its own. With a stunning mix of the surreal and the naturalistic, Mambéty paints a vivid, fractured portrait of Senegal in the early 1970s. Touki bouki is widely considered one of the most important African films ever made.
