Victime d'une machination circonstancielle, Salifou, diplômé sans emploi et père de trois enfants est arrêté par les forces de l'ordre. Son existence misérable gangr ené e par l'extrême pauvreté et l'injustice sociale, la mort prématurément injustifiée de son dernier enfant et l'infidélité insoupçonnée de sa femme furent des évènements indépendants les uns les autres qui le transformèrent en véritable révolutionnaire. Au bord du désespoir, il épousa une cause étrangère à ses convictions, et devint l'un des fervents hérauts du Comité Central de la Révolution, une organisation mise en place par un type sans nom qui ambitionnait de renverser le régime en place. Son séjour carcéral est suivi d'un simulacre de procès au cours duquel il est accusé d'être le principal instigateur de l'infâme complot ourdi contre le régime autoritaire instauré dans son pays. Ses conditions inhumaines, rudes et humiliantes de détention l'avilissent et le dépérissent. Et c'est perdu dans ses souvenirs que Salifou respirait profondément les précieuses dernières minutes de sa vie balbutiante.
A victim of a convenient conspiracy, Salifou, an unemployed graduate and father of three, is arrested by the police. His miserable existence, riddled with extreme poverty and social injustice, the unjustifiably premature death of his youngest child, and his wife's unsuspected infidelity were independent events that transformed him into a true revolutionary. On the verge of despair, he embraced a cause foreign to his convictions and became one of the fervent heralds of the Central Committee of the Revolution, an organization established by an unnamed man who aspired to overthrow the existing regime. His imprisonment is followed by a sham trial during which he is accused of being the mastermind behind the infamous plot hatched against the authoritarian regime in his country. His inhumane, harsh, and humiliating conditions of detention degraded and wasted him away. And it was lost in his memories that Salifou breathed deeply the precious last minutes of his fledgling life.
