Description:  Bill & Ted type comedy about two Frenchmen who are transported into the late 18th century and quickly sold into slavery. (A bold if often reckless attempt to combine slavery and comedy.) When half-brothers Regis (Eboue) and Joel (Tgijol) travel from the banlieue to the French Antilles to visit their estranged father on his death bed, they receive an unlikely inheritance: the official document which freed their ancestors from slavery. But neither Regis, a brown-nosing city bureaucrat, nor Joel, a petty thief who still lives with his mother, seem to appreciate the gesture. When they decide to tear up the paper, their witch doctor of an aunt (Isabel del Carmen Solar Montalvo) casts a spell that propels them to the late 18th century, where they're quickly rounded up and sold on the auction. block to a local master (Etienne Chicot)
