After wins at the Venice Film Festival, a vital take on the migration of West Africans to Europe seeks an audience on both continents.
At the foot of a dune in a nameless corner of the Sahara Desert, a woman falls to the ground. Ahead, a caravan of wandering souls snakes away. She calls for help and a young man – a boy, really, aged by what he’s seen and done – peels off, racing to her aid. He lifts her up and over his head until she’s flying, the hem of her dress fluttering like a mermaid’s tail despite the still air. Holding hands, they journey on together. Except that was all a fantasy. He did not stop.
“Those are the very human, intimate details that are at the base of the choice to leave their country.” “This is telling a story that most films are not telling, because most of the time they’re not starting from the beginning,” said Kouassi. In the film, the boys visit a Marabout, a spiritual leader, to psychologically prepare them, and who tells them to seek permission from their dead ancestors to leave – steps Kouassi took.
