Issiaka Konate

Elle (Isabelle Gélinas) wants to make a film about African wildlife. Adrien (Eric Métayer) is obsessed with the idea of making love to Elle in a very peculiar and theatrical imaginary bedroom. Perhaps following a principle of sympathetic magic, he arranges for a crew of eccentric friends to help create the bedroom of his dreams. If one part of his dream comes true, perhaps the other one will.

A short film on the African way of life.

Mahama Konaté, a great musician from Burkina Faso, initiates his son Foko into traditional culture with a musical instrument, the African xylophone. He shows him how to make one, and recounts its mythical origins; he desribes the sacred and profane role this instrument plays in society.
