In the Sahel, Kaltoumi, a young mother, is banished from her community and separated from her baby after being accused of trading with terrorists. Determined to recover her child, she sets out on a journey that brings her into contact with a group of women living on the margins, in a story about motherhood, survival and resistance to both terrorism and patriarchal control.

All his life, working as a shepherd, Janos has been hoping for his independence. Like his sheep, wandering around the pasture carefree, he dreams of finally opening the door that limits his freedom. As he looks for a path to different worlds, we watch the life cycle, filled with magic, which takes place amid picturesque pastures, accompanied by birdsong and the rustle of leaves.

Impératrice is a young videographer and blogger who runs a social media platform that promotes the actions and lives of rural women. This year 2070 marks the beginning of the end of the Internet.

The elderly Isabel Cardoso works in the kitchen of a nursery school. Her hands are worn, her memory sharp and heavy with grief. In moments of stillness she reaches across the divide, communicating with her deceased mother through the stirring winds, the rippling surface of water, the cracked earth. A richly intimate documentary mosaic of the strength, struggle and transcendence of black womanhood.
