Synopsis

Under pressure from their respective mistresses, three friends (Idriss, Momo and Willy) organize an extramarital trip to an extravagant hotel outside of their home base of Ouagadougou. A seminar in Abidjan is the perfect alibi for the trio to free themselves from their wives for a weekend. As soon as they arrive, their euphoria turns to dread when they learn that the plane they were supposed to have taken crashed. Ridden with guilt and abandoned by their mistresses, the three adulterers now have to confront their angry wives, hungry for revenge after the deception.[7]
