Synopsis

Boys sell newspapers on the sly when, suddenly, a little girl gets involved... A luminous fable of universal scope where feminism is expressed through acts of bravery, and where the cinema carries a vision of the world full of hope. A film that, twenty years after the death of its director, has become a classic of African cinema.

Djibril Diop Mambéty

Djibril Diop Mambéty was a Senegalese film director, actor, orator, composer and poet. In 1969, at age 23, without any formal training in filmmaking, Mambéty directed and produced his first short film, Contras' City (City of Contrasts). The following year Mambéty made another short, Badou Boy, which won the Silver Tanit award at the 1970 Carthage Film Festival in Tunisia. Though he made only two feature films and five short films, they received international acclaim for their original and experimental cinematic technique and non-linear, unconventional narrative style.
