Madame Brouette

Mati, a divorced mother of a young daughter, makes a living selling bric-a-bric from a wheelbarrow and dreams of opening a snack bar.

Téranga Blues

A kind of Dakar rap musical, or contemporary urban opera, Teranga Blues is a reflection on the social mutations affecting the pride of the Senegalese people.
