Bouba hat im Viertel St. Leon in Ouagadougou einen Videoclub gegründet, in dem er Filme für Kinder und Familien, aber auch Actionfilme zeigt. Jules César ruft mit seiner Djèmbe die Leute zusammen, um das abendliche Filmprogramm anzukündigen. Auch die Muslime des Viertels treffen sich hier zum Gebet.
