''Le Franc'' is a 1994 Senegalese short comedy film, directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty. ''Le Franc'' is about Marigo, a penniless musician living in a shanty town, relentlessly harassed by his formidable landlady. This film uses the French government's 50% devaluation of the West African CFA franc in 1994, and the resulting hardships as the basis for a whimsical commentary on using the lottery for survival. ''Le Franc'' was originally intended as the first film of a trilogy under the title, ''Tales of Ordinary People''. However, Mambety’s untimely death in 1998 prevented the completion of the third film. ==Synopsis== Marigo the musician dreams with his instrument – a congoma – confiscated by his landlady because he never pays the rent.

He already sees himself as a millionaire, with a thousand congomas, an orchestra and a private plane… He even has visions of the charismatic Aminata Fall, symbol of capitalism in Africa.
