Is divorce a curse? What are the ingredients of a marriage destined for divorce? Who is responsible in a divorce, the person who files for it or the person who grants it? How can one recover from a divorce? At what cost can divorce be avoided? Are marriage and divorce best enemies? What is the place of children after a divorce? Who gets custody of the children? Complex questions indeed…

Codou, Fary, and Baye Zale reflect each day on the journey they have traveled. Behind their lives lies the silent struggle of a mother: Kéwé, widowed far too soon. Illiterate, Kéwé single-handedly bore the burden of the household, taking on numerous odd jobs and sacrificing her dreams to protect and raise her three children. Through her memories, Fary sees and experiences the reflection of this exceptional mother who transformed her tears into courage and her hardships into hope.
