Amina [Acouackh Abakar Souleyman is a Muslim woman who, as a single mother, has been rejected by a large part of her environment, but does not accept the offer of neighbor Brahim [Youssouf Djaoro] to marry her. Amina has more or less resigned herself to her status as an outcast, but is shocked when her teenage daughter [Rihane Khalil Alio] turns out to be pregnant and announces she wants to terminate the pregnancy. Amina must make a choice between her faith and her daughter. Somewhat melodramatic, but well acted.

Visually beautiful - shot in warm yellow and also very good in terms of composition and use of widescreen. Also good in terms of atmosphere. But the actors didn't manage to touch me, they acted very superficially and that's why the film is not very interesting despite the limited length and can even be called boring in the end. 2.0*

My surprising introduction to a film from Chad is a tight film about two women (mother and daughter) who fight against the patriarchal oppression of women in that country. A movie with a message.
