Congorama Page #5

Synopsis: Michel, the Belgian son of a paralyzed writer, husband of a Congolese refugee, and father of a future tennis champion, is an erratic inventor misunderstood by his employer. At age 41, he learns that he was born secretly in a barn in Québec, in the town of Sainte-Cécile, and given up for adoption shortly afterward. In the summer of 2000, Michel goes there and finds a sleepy village that soon makes him want to run back home. There, he meets a man who drives a car with a technologically advanced hybrid engine. On their way back to Montréal, an accident changes their lives forever, and what is uncovered will challenge the very future of the automotive industry. Welcome to "Congorama."

and said, Look what l painted!

Are you a thief or plain dumb?

Both. When will you denounce me?

Go on, hit me!

lt'll make me feel better.

F*** you!

your talent for resurrection.. .

in bloody St Ccile!

Hold it. What did you say?

Didn't you know?

l'm a bastard born

on a bed of manure.

You were born in a barn?

l should've stuck

to my solar-powered lawnmowers!

Alright.

to tell my family, ok?

That won't be necessary.

You'll complete my father's work.

lt's great!

Hello?

He's nuts,

He wants to be friendly.

Dad?

-Sh*t, l can't see!

Dad, what's wrong?

Alice!

Hello?

Hello?

''ln the dark, a young journalist

shouted,

''lndependence for Congo!

''ln the ensuing commotion,

a Canadian nun escaped being trampled

''thanks to the journalist

and his wife.

''A year later,

the couple arranged to meet the nun

''in a motel in the Qubec countryside.

''The nun secretly hid a baby

in a barn.

'' Congorama tells of

a Congo-Belgium tribe,

''born of a blackout,

but above all, a promise."
