El médico africano

A Congolese physician lands a job in rural France only to learn his patients need convincing more than medicine. Clad in a white coat and cultural misunderstandings he navigates clinic queues and cheese-shy villagers. The film mistakes culture clash for comedy and succeeds only in melting.
