The African Doctor	comment	The African Doctor (in French Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont) is a 2016 French comedy-drama film starring Marc Zinga and Aïssa Maïga. It is based on Kamini Zantoko's personal experience, which first inspired him the famous/memetic humorous Hip-Hop song "Marly-Gomont".After his graduation as MD in a French university, Seyolo Zantoko, a Zairian, wants to stay in France. The only opportunity he has to be allowed to stay is accepting to work in a small backward village of Northern France. He settles there with his wife and his two children. Their integration in the local community will be more difficult than he expected.

She thinks this is a form of salutation, since some people say this when they see her (actually, they say it because they are surprised to see a black person). So, she uses it to say hello.
