STORYLINE
[en] Banel and Adama are fiercely in love. Longing for a home of their own, they have decided to live apart from their families and that Adama won’t accept his blood duty as future chief. When Adama informs the village council of his intention, the whole community is disrupted. The rain that’s supposed to come doesn’t come. Banel and Adama will learn that where they live, there is no room for passions, let alone chaos.
[fr] Banel et Adama s’aiment. Ils vivent dans un petit village éloigné au Nord du Sénégal et du monde, ils ne connaissent que ça. Mais l’amour parfait qui les unit va être mis à rude épreuve par les conventions de la communauté. Car là où ils vivent, il n’y a pas de place pour les passions, et encore moins pour le chaos.
