The Synopsis
November 2021. 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude to adopt to these ancestorsâ homecoming in a country that had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi.
