The young couple Banel and Adama live in a small village in Senegal. They are deeply in love with each other and plan to move away to build a new future together.

Is this a punishment for Adama's decision?
Read moreMyths and superstitions hold significant importance in this society. Old traditions put independence and future dreams to the test. The director Ramata-Toulaye Sy manages to present the traditional culture with respect and curiosity.
The film offers a powerful visual experience from a culture we rarely get to see up close. The magnificent natural landscape provides a grand atmospheric backdrop, and the use of amateur actors adds a unique authenticity and tension. This beautiful fable was presented in the main competition at last year's Cannes festival.
