The Franc (Le Franc)

SAT 26 OCT | CINÉ LUMIÈRE, 2:00 PM | TICKETS

Marigo, the musician, dreams of his instrument – a Congoma – which his landlady confiscated from him due to chronic non-payment of rent. Appropriating a national lottery ticket, he decides to keep it safe while waiting for the draw: he sticks it on his door and covers it with the poster of a hero from his childhood. On the evening of the drawing, fortune explodes in Marigo’s eyes: the winning number is that of his ticket! Marigo already sees himself as a millionaire, with a thousand congomas, an orchestra, a private plane… But Marigo stuck the ticket on his door. He then tears it from its hinges and takes it to the lottery window… Restored in 2K (Laboratoire Eclair) in 2018. Partners: Waka Films (Silvia Voser), Cinémathèque Afrique.
