The African Doctor (original title: Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont) is a 2016 French comedy-drama film based on the life of Seyolo Zantoko, the father of the musician Kamini.

[2][3] In 1975, Seyolo Zantoko graduates from medical school in Lille; he was the only African man in his class and circle of friends.

He calls his family and informs them that he got a job in France; in their excitement, his wife Anne and their two children, Sivi and Kamini, assume that they will move to Paris.

Seyolo's decision to live in France is primarily motivated by providing a better education for his children; he also hopes to apply for French citizenship.

However, Seyolo and his family end up gaining the trust of the villagers after he successfully delivers the baby of a local farmer.

The only hope for Seyolo to continue his practice is that the current mayor will be re-elected, although his opponent, Lavigne, is leading the polls and is determined to hire a doctor of French origin.
