A rundown African metropolis - anyone who comes here has one goal: to make money, no matter how. Tram 83 is the only nightclub in the city, its pulsating center. Losers and winners, profiteers and prostitutes, former child soldiers and students all converge in this den to eat, dance, drink, and forget. Here, in this place scarred by war and corruption, two unlikely friends also reunite: Lucien, the writer, seeks refuge from extortion and censorship with Requiem, who hustles his way through life. Fiston Mwanza Mujila tells the story of these two mismatched friends in a rhythmic and raw narrative.
