In Ouagadougou, Yves-Omar, a former schoolteacher is now an accomplished entrepreneur. Although he enjoys living with his family, his business pushes him to travel more and more to develop his company and create new partnerships in Paris, Munich, Brussels, Lomé. Drawing from her own experience, through Omar's Odyssey the director offers us another way of understanding the links between Europe and Africa. The experience of a man who-like Ulysses-returns home after long voyages. Each time experiencing the pleasure of returning to his country, Burkina Faso.
