Sinekatalog’s take
Safi Faye's drama follows a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl in a Senegalese village, promised to a rich man while loving a poor student. Lyrical and rooted in Serer culture, it is a rich, tender fable about choice and tradition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
