Plot

Safi Faye's ethnographic documentary examines a common predicament among West African women (and indeed, among Third World women in general); when their husbands seek work in faraway cities, rural women are often left with the burdens of raising and supporting a family. The film focuses on the daily life of one Senegalese woman, whose story is representative of larger social and economic realities. ~ Sarah Welsh, All Movie Guide
