Fantômas is a series depicting the odd jobs that are disdained in Kinshasa, and which have the peculiarity of requiring fancy dress to be worn. In Le pont, the father dresses up as a clown and puts on an act in bars in exchange for a few cents. The title refers to the gateway between the two worlds in which this man lives: his home life, represented by this domestic scene, and the imaginary world outside, in which he wears his disguise, which apart from being his work clothes, enables him not to be recognised.
