"The Nayak and the Bonandé people peoples, after a decade of genocidal conflict in an unnamed African country, have decided to start peace negotiations and reconciliation which is to begin with a celebration. However, as evening turns to night, the affair starts to get darker as stories unfold, and the path to a bloodbath seems inevitable. Intense drama that is very representational of the state of African nations hosting genocidal conflicts. This was the first feature directed by a sub-Saharan woman in history."

Drama, Burkina Faso/France
