Djénéba Dao

The film centers on the plan of a government minister to build a road through a sacred forest and the local community's resistance to this project.

When Djénéba returns from the city where she has been visiting her cousin, she brings her husband, Konaté, a wonderful gift: a condom. Konaté is furious and refuses to change his habits. Djénéba, well aware of the effects of AIDS, refuses to give in.
