Film notes

Onésime inherits a camel. When his mother-in-law sees the loveable creature she leaves home immediately, taking her daughter with her. Onésime can’t find them anywhere, “but suddenly the camel starts to speak, ‘I can sniff out your mother-in-law wherever she is, so follow me!’ And Onésime does and finds both his wife and the mother-in-law. The camel and the mother-in-law then become such close friends that it is difficult to tell them apart”.
