An outrageously provocative comedy! This is the tale of a truck driver named Morpheus, a man with a woman in every port who suddenly finds himself in a world turned upside down: a world in which women reign supreme in society and call all the shots.
Directed by Fanta Régina Nacro of Burkina Faso.
Based on an original idea by Marlène Anna Kpatagnon Amégankpoé, aged 21, of Benin.

The Global Dialogues films, based on stories submitted by creative youths in our contests, are crafted by leading filmmakers and emerging young talents. Available in numerous languages, the films reach over 200 million people every year.
Our vision:
Global Dialogues envisions a healthy, peaceful world in which an empathetic and compassionate humanity flourishes in a spirit of equality and unity in diversity.
Global Dialogues' mission:
To promote global public health and societal well-being through integrated, youth-driven solutions fueled by creativity and multidisciplinary partnership.
Scenarios from Africa is a community mobilisation, education and media project about HIV/AIDS carried out with and for young people. It gives children and young adults an exciting opportunity to educate themselves and others about HIV/AIDS by inviting them to participate with internationally acclaimed directors in the production of a collection of short films.
The films are based on ideas thought up by young people in a series of contests. So far, over 105,000 young people from 37 African countries have taken part in these contests. Over a thousand local and international partner organisations are involved in organising the contests and selecting the winning ideas.
Twenty-eight short fiction films are currently available. Some of the films are very touching, others extremely funny. They are distributed on a non-commercial basis across Africa and well beyond, for broadcast on national television stations and on international satellite networks.
Scenarios from Africa is coordinated by Global Dialogues - a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in education and communication about HIV/AIDS.
