Banel and Adama are fiercely in love. The young couple live in a remote village in northern Senegal and, for them, nothing else in the world exists.

However, their perfect everlasting love is on a collision course with their family’s traditions - as well as an oncoming drought that strikes their community.

Award-winning filmmaker Ramata-Toulaye Sy’s breathtaking debut follows the fated lovers' quest to carve a life for themselves beyond the expectations of others.
