Salie lives in Paris. Back home on the Senegalese Island of
Niodior, her football-crazy brother, Madicke, counts on her to get
him to France, the promised land where foreign footballers become
world famous. Given his illusions, how can Salie explain to him the
grim reality of life as an immigrant? The story of Salie and
Madicke highlights the painful situation of those who emigrate.
Others who feel this pain include Ndetare, the Marxist
schoolteacher and football coach, exiled to Niodior by the
government but never accepted by those born there. Then there's
Sankele, his former lover, the legendary beauty, whose only way out
of an arranged marriage ends in tragedy. And poor Moussa, whose
dreams look set to come true when he's scouted by a big French
football club, but which fall apart when he doesn't make the team.
