Banel and Adama are fiercely in love.
Living in a remote village in northern Senegal, for the young couple only their love exists. However, their perfect love seems on a collision course with their family’s traditions. Adama is pressured to take the position of village chief, but Banel and Adama have different plans – that is until something in the air shifts. A drought strikes and the cattle begin to die, changing everything.
