...last days other than trying to fight off prostate cancer, he isn't saying. Government officials say Mobutu's return will revitalize the army and restore Zairian pride, and turn the tide against the rebellion in the east. Yet although the evening news Monday reported that rebel leader Laurent Kabila had been "trembling" since he heard of the President's return, Mobutu brings no army with him.

...Laurent (Alain Chabat), a real estate dealer, cheats on his wife Loli (Victoria Abril) but insists--men are such romantics--that she is ever faithful to him. As his mistress replies wearily, "That's probably what my husband says to his mistress about me." Loli is indeed constant, until she meets Marijo (Balasko), a butch musician.
