Aya grows up with her mother on the island of Lahou. Joyful and carefree, she likes to pick coconuts and sleep on the sand. However, her paradise is doomed to disappear under the waters. As the waves threaten her house, Aya makes a choice: the sea can rise, but she will not leave her island.

No synopsis available yet.

In the heart of the bush where the gravel is hollowed, a stubborn civilisation hunts out its future below the earth's surface. Blind, or perhaps all too seeing, they dig away, night and day, spurred on by the madness that drives man to his death.

Boys and girls from the colourful West-African Fulani people are raised separately on the savannah. Their daily activities are regularly interrupted by rituals that lead to adulthood. Filmed up close, you can almost feel the pain and endurance that accompany the rituals and daily experiences.
