GÉEJ AMUL BAŊXAAS “At Sea, Without Support”
| Mamadou, unaware of the mysterious threads woven by fate, was carried by the invisible winds of society—pushed to board a pirogue under the veiled gaze of his parents. There, at the edge of untamed waters, before dissolving into the distant horizon, he shares one final glance with the smuggler, a cold agent of the State, and a marabout whose words carry a haunting allure. Driven by a poignant mise-en-scène, the film raises a pressing question: where does true responsibility lie? With the parents, who let their hope drift away? The smuggler, who charts the journey? The State official, or the marabout whose promises enchant?paroles scellent le destin ? Tout cela n’est-il qu’un jeu du sort ? |
