Synopsis

Le film se déroule au Ghana en 1955, pendant les troubles qui suivent l'indépendance du pays. Kwesi Atta Bosomefi, natif du pays, est devenu un pur produit de l'éducation coloniale scolaire et religieuse. Il rejette sa culture d'origine, jusqu'à angliciser son nom en Quincy Arthur Bosomfield. Il accède au poste de Commissaire régional africain. Lorsque les travailleurs locaux protestent contre leurs conditions de travail, Quincy prend le parti des colons blancs contre eux. Il va jusqu'à trahir sa propre famille ; lorsque son fils est grièvement blessé, il refuse de le faire soigner.
