The Time Of The Charity Fete Is Over

Synopsis



French guy Alex gets stuck in the middle of nowhere in some French African colony when his car breaks down. The isolated desert township offers little hope for finding a battery for his car, so Alex must wait for a passer-by to help - unfortunately for him; these are few-and-far between! Alex suffers from a white-superiority complex and treats the people of the village with disdain. The film realistically portrays the variety of responses from the small number of villagers who come into contact with Alex - their indifference, desperation, hope, opportunism. This is not a pleasant movie, Alex is not a likable character and, indeed, there are few likable characters at all in this film. It is, however, very well crafted, confronting, realistic, and definitely worth watching.
