Komana is a village in the wooded savanna of West Africa, witnessing the gradual establishment of colonization in the country at the beginning of the 20th century. Money is becoming woven into daily life. The elders, lost in their distant memories, frequently gather in the vestibule or under the palaver tree to discuss matters. The only way to resist this cultural invasion is to learn about this foreigner, and therefore to use their language and writing system. Zan, the eldest brother, leaves every year during the dry season to work in the large city of Bougouba, in order to help his family back in the village. This contact, with the particular attention of his landlord, will allow him to offer a starting point for a solution to the village council. If an old woman says there are excellent spices at the market, the best way to be sure is to give her enough money so she can go and get some for you. K tou, Zan's younger brother, will serve as an example.
