The Gabonese adaptation of the French series humorously recounts the daily life of a couple in their forties, Magloire and Edith KOUMBA, and their three children aged 8 to 16. This family, representative of the booming African middle class, embodies the image of a modern Africa.
In this new season, we find the joyful Koumba family expanded with the ever-unpredictable grandmother Augustine, who lectures on the education of her grandchildren, and a new character, Alino, Magloire's best friend. Alino, who squats in the living room, puts Magloire in an awkward position and becomes Edith's ally without her knowing it!
The famous Gabonese comedian Omar DEFUNZU plays the role of father Magloire KUMBA, Aisha Yamav plays the mother, Edith Kumbah, Chris Eyogho Ebang is the eldest son, Junior, Jardelle Angue is the daughter, Gladys, Ben Mabadi is the youngest son, Hypolite, Christiane Libina is the grandmother, Augustine Kumbah, and Ngokele "Mpendi" Caprais is the friend, Avino.
