In an African city in secession, tourists of all languages and nationalities land. They have only one desire: to make a fortune by exploiting the mineral wealth of the country. They work during the day in mining concessions and, as soon as night falls, they go out to get drunk, dance, eat, and abandon themselves in Tram 83, the only nightclub of the city, the den of all the outlaws.
Lucien, a professional writer, fleeing the exactions and censorship, finds refuge in the city thanks to Requiem, a friend. Requiem lives mainly on theft and swindle, while Lucien only thinks of writing and living honestly. Around them gravitate gangsters and young girls, retired or runaway men, profit-seeking tourists, and federal agents of a non-existent State.
