Synopsis
In the early 1960s, a missionary priest disappears in a West African port city as the country prepares for independence. A young officer arrives from France, charged with finding the missing man.His investigation comes up against the sarcasm of the departing colonists, the mistrust of the African nuns and the indifference of the fishermen in the pirogues. Faced with the silence of one and all, the young officer finally leaves the blinding light of the port for the muggy darkness of the forest, where day and night merge.
