Banel & Adama

Best of 2024 • 1h 26m

Directed by Ramata-Toulaye Sy • Drama • 2024 • Senegal, France, Mali, Qatar • Pulaar with English subtitles
Starring Khady Mane, Mamadou Diallo, Binta Racine Sy

Banel and Adama are fiercely in love. For them, nothing else exists except each other. But duty dictates that Adama accept the role of chief of their Senegalese village. The two lovers have their own plans… until something in the air changes. The rains do not come, the cattle die off, the men leave. The curse weighs on Adama and the chasm between them drives Banel into a feverish, mystical chaos.
