本(běn )片记(jì )录了西(🔨)部非洲的乡下青年到城市打工的经历。许多尼日利亚(🍥)青年离开位于内陆的家(jiā )乡来到沿海国家象牙海岸打工，许(xǔ )多人在首都阿比让的(🐿)平民(mín )(🔸)区落脚。本片主人公是一位仿(fǎng )照美国电(diàn )影明星取名爱德华(🥞)·罗宾逊的年轻人，他在摄影(🤯)机前讲述自己及其同伴的故事。The film depicts an ordinary week in the lives of men and women from Niger who have migrated to Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire for work. After a short introduction by Rouch, Edward G. Robinson-Omarou Ganda, who like the film's other subject-collaborators plays himself under the name of a Western movie star-takes over the film's narration, recreating dialogue and providing freewheeling commentary on his experiences.
