Reacting to ending criticism ( warning of plot revealing)

Warning: Spoilers
I actually think that the ending is the most plausible.

And what I expected. The attitude of the family being rather self absorbing was a good indication. The catharsis with the captain (after a super cathartic bonus) was quite interesting, but not developed enough.

I was particularly stricken by his honesty not to hide behind the true reason of his dismissal : seniority. Also about the openness of the mother to the elder siblings. Honesty in crime and tender relationship with youngest daughter is what saves him. Also the collusion of all parties involved.

One more time I'm reminded why Africa is in such underdeveloped state: being the playground of self enriching European and lately Asian states. Switzerland being an excellent example : I only mention the well documented case of copper mining at pennies a pound paid in Africa, many euros per pound selling in Europe.

One goofing thing: the family home was in Switzerland ( francs being used, army service the elder son) but thé father drives to a port in Belgium or NL with his youngest daughter in an afternoon ? Even in porche should be 8 hours minimum.
