Le film est le portrait tumultueux du "Grand Z", conducteur de la locomotive du train Abidjan–Ouagadougou pendant 20 ans. Il fut licencié en 1995 par la Société des chemins de Fer du Burkina Faso, à la suite de la privatisation imposée par la Banque Mondiale. Grand jouisseur impénitent, il a alors été terrassé en pleine allégresse, a tout perdu, et coule depuis des jours bien sombres en attendant sa pension de retraite.
