After a long separation, two old friends meet and reminisce about childhood and village life. Of course, as one man has remained in the village all these years while the other has traveled and studied, their perspectives on the big city, societal changes and traditions are somewhat different.

Through a deceptively simple conversation, HOMMAGE exposes the multiple contradictions and conflicting notions of development in Cameroonian society.
