Women in Trouble: Love and Desire in Francophone Cinema

Starring Khady Mane, Mamadou Diallo
A young couple resists their community’s expectations—for him, the tribal leadership; for her, domestic duties—to live on their own terms. But their bond is tested when a series of possibly supernatural misfortunes befall their village. This feminist fable was Senegal’s submission to the 96th Oscars.
