COMEDY & DRAMA (TWO GREAT FILMS TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK!)
THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE follows three not-so-ordinary couples to see how things turned out several years after the honeymoon.

In DESRANCES, Francis and Aissey are expecting their second child, a son. He looks forward to the birth of his heir, the last descendant of the DESRANCES family. For Francis, having a son is crucial since his country was destroyed in a horrific earthquake in January 2010.  His joy of welcoming a son to his happy family is short lived. While Aissey is about to give birth, a civil war breaks out in Abidjan. It’s 2011 and the capital is on fire, but Francis has to take his wife to the hospital. A couple of hours later, in the middle of the chaos, his newborn son, and his wife have disappeared.
   Determined to ward off the misfortune that has once again fallen on him, he goes in search of them with courage and determination. Despite his refusal, his 12-year-old daughter Haïla decides to accompany him on his quest. Together, father and daughter cross the city and face its many dangers.
   As their journey unfolds, Francis discovers the unsuspected courage of Haïla and understands that his fearless little girl is the worthy heir of her illustrious ancestor: LAMOUR DESRANCES, a slave that become general in the Napoleon French army.
