[edit] Synopsis
Michel is a Belgian inventor. He cares for his father, a paralysed writer, is married to a Congolese woman and is the father of an interracial child whom he reassures as to his parentage. He discovers at the age of 41 that he was adopted, actually having been born in Sainte-Cécile, Quebec. In the summer of 2000, he travels to Quebec, supposedly to sell some of his inventions. While on a near-impossible quest to find his birth family in the town where he was born, he crosses paths with Louis, another luckless inventor, in a meeting which will change their lives.
[edit] Premiere
Congorama received its world premier at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the Directors Fortnight series[2].
