Synopsis

Mambéty’s second feature film, Hyènes, exposes the greed and cowardice of a town convulsed by the return of Linguère Ramatou, who left 30 years ago but has come back a millionaire. A comedy, love story and tale of revenge, as well as a biting critique of African neocolonialism and consumerism.
