Abidjan's prosperity, and Houphouet-Boigny's success, were largely made in France. The sprawling Renault auto assembly plant on Abidjan's outskirts is one reminder of the large amount of private French capital flooding into Ivory Coast; the heavily laden coffee craft steaming out of Abidjan's harbor symbolize the preferential trade agreements that Paris renews year after year. France hands out $50 million in annual subsidies and other aid to help keep the little republic solvent-and pro-French.

Her motives are wifely in the best bourgeois tradition: she only wants to keep her husband safe from other witches, and to make sure he does well in his job. He does very well indeed. Before the first reel runs out, he seems certain to become chairman...
...love. Since the young woman has lost her grip on reality in the presence of three who love her deeply, and has been unable to draw either comfort or support from their love, the sentiment seems somewhat irrelevant, but it is an appropriate conclusion to a film laden with unconvincing philosophies and illogical sequences...
