    • Synopsis
    • After the death of her uncle, a dignitary Mandingo Islam, the director films her family courtyard. A dispute over the estate has burst out between advocates of traditional law and proponents of official law, inherited from European colonization.
      The courtyard becomes the theater where the future of an emblematic family is played out.
