This year 17 African nations mark 50 years of independence from a resource-hungry Europe.
A young drifter enters strangers' houses - and lives - while owners are away. He spends a night or a day squatting in, repaying their unwitting hospitality by doing laundry or small repairs. His life changes when he runs into a beautiful woman in an affluent mansion who is ready to escape her unhappy, abusive marriage. Music :: Natache Atlas - Gafsa
