Ramata-Toulaye Sy's feature debut, cast with non-professional actors performing in Pulaar, follows a young couple in a remote northern Senegalese village whose love collides with the demands of their community, and competed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2023.
Fun fact: Sy became only the second Black woman in the 76-year history of the Cannes Film Festival to compete for the Palme d'Or.
