Banel and Adama are young adults in their late teens who live in a remote village in northern Senegal. Adama is quiet and introverted, while Banel is passionate and rebellious. Adama and Banel fall in love and decide to live separately from their families so that they can live together. When Adama refuses to fulfil his birthright to serve as the village’s future leader, chaos ensues in the community.
Banel et Adama s’aiment. Ils vivent dans un village éloigné au nord du Sénégal. Du monde, ils ne connaissent que ça, en dehors, rien n’existe. Or, l’amour absolu qui les unit va se heurter aux conventions de la communauté. Car là où ils vivent, il n’y a pas de place pour les passions, et encore moins pour le chaos.
