An illegal African immigrant from Nigeria in Paris thinks he can survive on performing his poems with a talking drum, but soon runs into trouble in a fight with another illegal immigrant from Senegal who insults him that he is a trespasser for being an immigrant from an anglophone country. In his desperation to escape deportation, he appeals for political asylum, but gets rejected and then ends up taking refuge in the flat of a young French prostitute whose ambition is to be a night club singer.
"We can perform together with me playing my talking drum and you playing your acoustic guitar," he says.
"That's crazy," she says.
"Yeah! And that's the beauty of it. And there will be enough crazy people who will love our crazy act," he says laughing aloud.
She giggles and shakes her head.
