A somewhat improbable story about a young woman who hides for months (and pregnant) near a jihadist camp after her relatives are murdered by them. It's little more than an example of the growing influence of jihadism in sub-Saharan Africa, and the story itself isn't very long, but what beautiful images this filmmaker conjures up to do justice to the colors of Africa. A pleasantly watchable piece of world cinema, filmed in Mauritania.
