Summary

Aux chemins de Babo Naki, based on a krou myth, tells the story of Babo Naki, a hunter whose death in the bush brings his seven sons, each bearing a specific talent, to pool their skills and expertise: Guibrénipi the geographer, Guenakô the osteologist, Blakou the dermatologist, Pamadrou the hematologist, Pamagnomou the pulmonologist, Diwéri the master of speech and Vouka the physiotherapist.

They succeed in bringing their father back to life. However, when the moment comes to determine which of them has played the most decisive role in the résurrection of the father, the situation degenerates into an argument.[3]
