Fatou Jupiter Touré

Ramatoulaye, a 50-year-old teacher, has been married to lawyer Modou Fall for 25 years. The couple is very close and happy. When her husband takes a second wife – her daughter's best friend – a struggle between tradition and modernity begins.

Two new co-wives are alone in a house. The husband is away. They don’t want to talk to each other; at the same time, the voices of two other women in a TV documentary tell us about their own experiences of polygamy.
