Viva Riva!

Returning to his hometown of Kinshasa with a truckload of gasoline, hijacked from neighbouring Angola, that he's looking to unload for the right price, small-time Congolese crook Riva immerses himself in the city's nightlife. Problems arise when he falls for a local hoodlum's girl and the Angolan mobster he ripped off comes looking for the gas...and Riva.
