    • Bourgeois, who was a scammer in Côte d'Ivoire and dreamed of living rich, arrived illegally in Europe ten years ago at the risk of his life. Bourgeois finally settles down in France: he marries, has children, and obtains papers.He will now have the choice between two countries, and two identities, but realizes that his life is in France. In Côte d'Ivoire, he will be an immigrant. In his own country, as in France, he has become a foreigner, a "lonan tché".
