A rich businessman is fed up with work, family, society, and goes with his accountant to Africa, in search of his brother-in-law who had vanished there in mysterious circumstances. They will find him alright - as a tribal chief, surrounded with lots of topless, shapely wives. They are going to return to civilisation, but will their friend come with them?

VIBE

A bizarre, sun-drenched romp through a fantastical Africa. Expect broad comedy, questionable cultural depictions, and a journey of self-discovery for a man seeking his lost brother-in-law. It's a wild, old-school adventure with a touch of the absurd.
