MON 28 OCT | CINÉ LUMIÈRE, 6:30 PM | TICKETS

When a young intellectual from the Ivory Coast returns home, after a long period in Europe, he has to face up to the difficulties of readjusting to his society and to his strong sexual inhibition, made manifest by the recurring appearance of a woman brandishing an impressive knife, which paralyses him with terror, and prevents him from having relations with women. He turns to traditional healers and medicine, but to no avail. He must finally confront the image of his mother.
