Fatoumata Sy

At 31, Fanta, a lawyer, is pregnant and about to give birth. Following a phone call between her husband and her mother-in-law, she discovers that the latter has already chosen the baby's name. Stunned by this situation, she decides to fight for the right to name her child.

Forty-year-old Babou Diop lives with his son Sada, his wife Coumba and a sheep they raise in the house. At nine, Sada ends up forming a very strong friendship with the sheep. A few days before the Tabaski holiday, Babou realises that his sheep, which is intended for sacrifice, has disappeared—and so has his son. In great distress, he sets out to find them, which he eventually does—a reunion that is not without its consequences... Now, Babou is faced with a dilemma.
