Plot Synopsis
Proud and independent, Mati survives by pushing her cart through a Senegalese shantytown. Divorced, she dreams of opening a small restaurant and earning a living with dignity. Having encouraged many wives to stand up to their domineering husbands, Mati then falls for a charming, smooth-talking policeman. Partly narrated through a Greek chorus in song, giving the film the feel of a folk legend, this feminist melodrama explores inequality in male-female relationships and how women in a violent partnership can ultimately be driven to violence themselves. Featuring music by Majoly, Serge Fiori and Mamadou Diabate, it won a Best Film Music award at Berlin.
