Paris
Belleville area, Sainte-Marthe Street

An African restaurant
They sell alokos, fried bananas

The fat woman who runs the restaurant is MAMA ALOKO.

She has to face the idleness of children from the welfare centre, a failed writer’s stupid advice, the bums’begging, her own loneliness, the skinheads and, on top of all that, her broken fridge which is the cause of all her troubles.

Poor MAMA ALOKO ! She’ll have to find one thousand francs to buy a new fridge and thus avoid the permanent closure of her disreputable restaurant, where all the mob of Paris have-nots come for a bit of love and human warmth.

Will she get out of the wood ?
