1
00:01:41,916 --> 00:01:44,541
Every day,
I hear them calling me...

2
00:01:45,291 --> 00:01:47,500
in a voice so sweet and so pretty.

3
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:49,166
Banel!

4
00:01:49,916 --> 00:01:50,750
Banel!

5
00:01:53,125 --> 00:01:56,291
They beg and persist.

6
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:02,500
But I don't answer.

7
00:02:02,666 --> 00:02:05,000
I'm happy, dad, I'm having fun!

8
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:26,250
So they get agitated and angry.

9
00:02:26,416 --> 00:02:29,333
They no longer whisper, they accuse me.

10
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,458
Yes, I like,

11
00:02:57,416 --> 00:02:59,041
like a woman knows how to love.

12
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:18,958
Adama?

13
00:03:25,125 --> 00:03:28,333
We should go there if we want to dig
before nightfall.

14
00:03:29,166 --> 00:03:30,458
Yes, let's go.

15
00:04:19,416 --> 00:04:20,374
Adama?

16
00:04:22,208 --> 00:04:23,791
Tell me a story.

17
00:04:26,958 --> 00:04:28,416
It was a long time ago,

18
00:04:28,583 --> 00:04:30,416
years before today.

19
00:04:33,125 --> 00:04:36,208
The best of times, it seems.

20
00:04:39,916 --> 00:04:42,458
At that time lived Kounda,

21
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:44,375
one of my ancestors.

22
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,875
He had the gift of speaking to mermaids.

23
00:04:55,250 --> 00:04:57,458
Kounda was always near the river.

24
00:05:00,291 --> 00:05:01,625
He was an excellent fisherman

25
00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:05,125
because the mermaids had entrusted him
the secrets of the water beings.

26
00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:08,625
Every evening,

27
00:05:08,791 --> 00:05:10,541
he brought back fish for dinner,

28
00:05:10,708 --> 00:05:13,375
and everyone ate their fill.

29
00:05:17,541 --> 00:05:21,416
It was the best of times, it seems.

30
00:05:26,541 --> 00:05:27,958
But one day,

31
00:05:28,833 --> 00:05:31,000
a little girl drowned in the river.

32
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:36,791
Everyone blamed the sirens
for luring her into the depths.

33
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,958
The mermaids,
furious but above all very proud,

34
00:05:44,125 --> 00:05:47,708
no longer allowed the villagers
to venture into their waters,

35
00:05:47,875 --> 00:05:50,625
nor to fish
nor even for swimming.

36
00:05:56,208 --> 00:05:57,791
Kounda, terribly saddened,

37
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:00,875
felt betrayed by her friends.

38
00:06:05,583 --> 00:06:08,875
It was the worst of times, it seems.

39
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:16,833
So, to end this war,
Kounda...

40
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,791
Is this a true story?

41
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,666
How so ?

42
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,333
Did that really happen?

43
00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:23,833
I believe.

44
00:06:24,291 --> 00:06:25,666
Who told you that?

45
00:06:25,833 --> 00:06:28,875
Old Abou Dia,
during my apprenticeship.

46
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:31,916
And you believe it?

47
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Yes.

48
00:07:18,791 --> 00:07:20,458
There are no sirens.

49
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:22,458
I told you so.

50
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,708
What do you see?

51
00:07:50,625 --> 00:07:52,416
A wildfire.

52
00:07:52,708 --> 00:07:54,416
Lots of little golden dots.

53
00:07:56,875 --> 00:07:58,833
It looks like a shower of stars.

54
00:08:00,125 --> 00:08:01,625
And what else?

55
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:07,666
There are no more stars.

56
00:08:09,208 --> 00:08:10,625
They have disappeared.

57
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:13,583
It's like hell fire.

58
00:08:19,041 --> 00:08:27,458
Banel and Adama

59
00:08:48,791 --> 00:08:49,791
Adama?

60
00:08:49,958 --> 00:08:52,083
We could dig sooner
this afternoon?

61
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:53,875
Yes, that's a good idea.

62
00:08:56,541 --> 00:08:57,375
Banel!

63
00:08:57,541 --> 00:08:59,458
- What ?
- Auntie asks you.

64
00:08:59,625 --> 00:09:00,750
We're coming.

65
00:09:03,958 --> 00:09:05,125
You are beautiful.

66
00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:19,916
Good morning.

67
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:22,125
Hello, mom.

68
00:09:23,458 --> 00:09:24,458
Good morning.

69
00:09:24,625 --> 00:09:25,833
You slept well ?

70
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,791
No, it was too hot.

71
00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:30,250
Tonight,
I will install your mosquito net outside.

72
00:09:30,416 --> 00:09:33,125
- Did you want to talk to us?
- I need you today.

73
00:09:33,291 --> 00:09:35,291
I would like you to do the laundry.

74
00:09:40,458 --> 00:09:43,208
Mom, Banel had to help me
with the cows.

75
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:46,083
And I don't have laundry to do.

76
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:48,416
I would like you to wash my clothes.

77
00:09:49,250 --> 00:09:52,166
You won't be alone, Adama.
Omar will accompany you.

78
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,291
Go wash his clothes.

79
00:09:57,625 --> 00:09:59,916
I'll be back soon, I promise.

80
00:10:35,583 --> 00:10:38,750
You should wash the clothes
before the sun gets too strong.

81
00:10:40,125 --> 00:10:42,708
She's right,
what are you waiting for?

82
00:10:59,416 --> 00:11:02,125
Don't worry,
you will find Adama this evening.

83
00:11:38,791 --> 00:11:39,916
Adama!

84
00:11:40,583 --> 00:11:41,625
Where are you going?

85
00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:43,583
- I missed you!
- You too.

86
00:11:44,458 --> 00:11:46,416
- Have you been waiting for me for a long time?
- Yes !

87
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:41,208
It's going to be two years
that Yéro is dead,

88
00:12:42,125 --> 00:12:46,250
leaving his first wife Téné a widow
and his second wife Banel.

89
00:12:46,416 --> 00:12:49,125
May God bless his blessings.

90
00:12:49,708 --> 00:12:52,541
Binta lost her husband
and his eldest son Yéro,

91
00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:54,250
but thank God,

92
00:12:54,416 --> 00:12:56,583
his youngest son Adama is alive.

93
00:12:57,791 --> 00:12:59,291
A year ago,

94
00:12:59,458 --> 00:13:03,166
Adama fulfilled his duty as a Muslim
with his elder

95
00:13:03,333 --> 00:13:05,958
by marrying Banel,

96
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:07,583
widowed at a very young age.

97
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:09,708
May God bless his blessings.

98
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:12,791
Since Yéro's disappearance,

99
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:15,625
and waiting for Adama
completes his apprenticeship,

100
00:13:16,083 --> 00:13:18,416
it's Djibril,
my son and Adama's cousin,

101
00:13:18,583 --> 00:13:20,000
who was acting village chief.

102
00:13:21,291 --> 00:13:22,541
Adama!

103
00:13:22,708 --> 00:13:25,416
Your dead father and brother,

104
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:28,125
today you must fulfill your duty

105
00:13:28,833 --> 00:13:30,166
and become the village chief.

106
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:34,458
He is only 19 years old.

107
00:13:35,208 --> 00:13:36,750
He's too young!

108
00:13:37,125 --> 00:13:39,541
Here, age doesn't matter.
Adama is a man.

109
00:13:39,916 --> 00:13:42,625
His apprenticeship with Abou Dia
has just ended.

110
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:44,500
So he is ready.

111
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:46,625
I won't be a leader.

112
00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:50,000
I don't want it.
Djibril can continue to be.

113
00:13:51,083 --> 00:13:52,166
No.

114
00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:54,208
We must follow the lineage.

115
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:57,208
Now it's your turn,
you have no choice.

116
00:13:57,375 --> 00:13:59,000
I know, but I refuse.

117
00:14:03,291 --> 00:14:05,833
Adama, are you sure of your decision?

118
00:14:06,625 --> 00:14:07,416
Yes.

119
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:10,416
Whatever your choice,

120
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:14,500
being a chef is in your blood,
you can't change that.

121
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:23,500
You did well to tell them.

122
00:14:23,666 --> 00:14:26,000
At least you
they won't force you to do anything

123
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,833
because you are a man.

124
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,708
Banel, now that I've told them,

125
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,375
we are no longer obliged
to stay and live here.

126
00:14:38,541 --> 00:14:40,416
So are we going to go to the houses?

127
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,041
As soon as we dig them up, yes.

128
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:46,791
Imagine, just you and me,
in our homes!

129
00:14:48,333 --> 00:14:49,875
Banel and Adama.

130
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,416
Banel and Adama.

131
00:16:12,458 --> 00:16:16,541
YERO SALL

132
00:16:55,208 --> 00:16:57,041
When you leave with the cows,

133
00:16:57,208 --> 00:17:00,458
you will also take those of Djibril,
he won't be able to take care of it.

134
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,416
Banel will help me.

135
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:04,749
No, not Banel.

136
00:17:05,083 --> 00:17:06,541
You will go with Omar.

137
00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:10,124
Omar is slow and lazy.
Banel is more efficient than him.

138
00:17:10,291 --> 00:17:12,083
She must replace Marie in the field.

139
00:17:12,249 --> 00:17:15,208
Her pregnancy is painful,
she must rest.

140
00:17:15,374 --> 00:17:16,708
We lack women,

141
00:17:16,874 --> 00:17:19,541
and the field must be ready
to welcome the rain.

142
00:17:23,791 --> 00:17:25,749
Why do you refuse to be boss?

143
00:17:26,291 --> 00:17:29,041
I already told you,
I don't want it.

144
00:17:29,208 --> 00:17:30,833
That's not a reason.

145
00:17:32,041 --> 00:17:34,583
I'm not dad,
I'm not Yéro.

146
00:17:34,750 --> 00:17:36,250
I want other things.

147
00:17:36,416 --> 00:17:37,708
What things?

148
00:17:37,875 --> 00:17:40,291
With Banel,
we're going to live somewhere else.

149
00:17:40,458 --> 00:17:41,625
For what ?

150
00:17:42,083 --> 00:17:44,208
We want our own house,

151
00:17:44,375 --> 00:17:46,958
with our children, our flock...

152
00:17:48,083 --> 00:17:49,291
Where?

153
00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:52,333
In the sandy houses,
outside the village.

154
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:54,958
It was Banel who put that in your head.

155
00:17:56,291 --> 00:17:59,458
We have already started to dig them up
to settle there.

156
00:18:00,375 --> 00:18:01,708
According to custom,

157
00:18:01,875 --> 00:18:04,833
your apprenticeship finished,
you are the only one who can be leader.

158
00:18:08,958 --> 00:18:11,041
My decision is made, mom.

159
00:18:17,208 --> 00:18:18,000
Where are you going?

160
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:19,166
Let's go through it.

161
00:18:32,083 --> 00:18:34,208
They should have closed the well
earlier.

162
00:18:35,083 --> 00:18:36,750
If they had,

163
00:18:37,458 --> 00:18:39,541
Yéro would not have fallen in.

164
00:18:43,041 --> 00:18:45,333
We cannot die before our time

165
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:48,500
nor not die when the hour strikes.

166
00:18:53,541 --> 00:18:55,250
The rain is coming

167
00:18:55,416 --> 00:18:56,708
Peace is coming

168
00:18:56,875 --> 00:18:58,625
If God wants

169
00:18:58,791 --> 00:19:00,083
Peace is coming

170
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:01,666
The rain is coming

171
00:19:01,833 --> 00:19:03,375
Peace is coming

172
00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:05,125
If God wants

173
00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:06,750
Peace is coming

174
00:19:06,916 --> 00:19:08,208
Let's work our field

175
00:19:08,375 --> 00:19:09,666
Peace is coming

176
00:19:09,833 --> 00:19:11,375
If God wants

177
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:12,833
Peace is coming

178
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:21,291
Thank you.

179
00:22:25,541 --> 00:22:26,750
He's weird.

180
00:22:27,250 --> 00:22:30,666
He always writes on his tablet,
even when he is not studying the Quran.

181
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:32,083
Who is that?

182
00:22:34,375 --> 00:22:35,541
Malik.

183
00:22:36,583 --> 00:22:39,333
It seems like he reads us
when he looks at us.

184
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:40,791
Are you hiding any secrets?

185
00:22:41,583 --> 00:22:42,666
No.

186
00:22:43,041 --> 00:22:45,333
He may be taking
for the scribe angel.

187
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,666
The scribe angel?

188
00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:50,375
The one who collects
all our good and bad deeds.

189
00:22:54,666 --> 00:22:56,250
Look how beautiful they are.

190
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:58,375
How much do you sell them?

191
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:00,333
Good morning.

192
00:23:02,875 --> 00:23:04,000
Banel!

193
00:23:05,333 --> 00:23:07,500
It's been a long time
that we haven't seen you,

194
00:23:07,666 --> 00:23:10,041
while you don't live
only five minutes from here.

195
00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:14,750
Mom, I work
from dawn to sunset.

196
00:23:15,416 --> 00:23:16,791
It's normal.

197
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,041
You still don't have a child?

198
00:23:21,875 --> 00:23:23,291
For what?

199
00:23:40,625 --> 00:23:43,750
Racine, you should already know
the Quran by heart.

200
00:23:43,916 --> 00:23:46,458
Me, at 9 years old,
I knew him perfectly.

201
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:48,583
It's true that you have this gift,

202
00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:50,833
but do you know the meaning?

203
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,833
Do you know its value?

204
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:56,416
Knowing it by heart is no use
if we don't understand it.

205
00:23:56,583 --> 00:23:57,916
It's not wrong.

206
00:23:58,083 --> 00:24:01,750
You're out of luck,
I am the twin who received reason.

207
00:24:01,916 --> 00:24:04,750
If you are right,
what do I have left?

208
00:24:05,833 --> 00:24:06,875
The heart.

209
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:10,666
So it suits me,
I leave the reason to you.

210
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,625
We already told you
don't sit like that.

211
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,250
This is not suitable for a woman.

212
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:25,583
So I should wear pants,
I won't have this problem anymore.

213
00:24:25,958 --> 00:24:27,791
God forbid!

214
00:24:30,333 --> 00:24:32,166
How is Adama?

215
00:24:32,833 --> 00:24:33,916
GOOD.

216
00:24:35,625 --> 00:24:37,166
You don't look happy.

217
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:41,708
I can no longer herd the flock,
I have to replace Marie in the field.

218
00:24:41,875 --> 00:24:43,875
You know I hate it.

219
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:45,875
Don't get upset about it.

220
00:24:46,041 --> 00:24:48,500
You must help women,
the rain is coming.

221
00:24:48,666 --> 00:24:51,125
But I hardly see Adama anymore!

222
00:24:51,291 --> 00:24:53,500
Know that the fields,
it's for a while.

223
00:24:54,166 --> 00:24:56,375
But Adama and you are for life.

224
00:24:58,791 --> 00:25:00,458
Banel and Adama.

225
00:25:06,375 --> 00:25:08,041
You are right, Racine.

226
00:25:08,208 --> 00:25:10,958
Especially since we will soon live
in houses.

227
00:25:11,416 --> 00:25:12,458
Which houses?

228
00:25:12,625 --> 00:25:15,333
The houses on the other side of the village.

229
00:25:16,666 --> 00:25:18,750
It's impossible,
they are silted up.

230
00:25:18,916 --> 00:25:21,750
We are in the process of digging them up.
You didn't know that?

231
00:25:22,750 --> 00:25:25,000
I knew you dug sometimes,

232
00:25:25,166 --> 00:25:27,625
but I didn't think
that it was to live there.

233
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,375
I don't understand.

234
00:25:31,625 --> 00:25:34,541
- Are you having problems at home?
- That's not it.

235
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:36,708
We just want our own house.

236
00:25:36,875 --> 00:25:38,791
A house of your own? For what ?

237
00:25:38,958 --> 00:25:41,416
To live our life,
just Adama and me.

238
00:25:41,583 --> 00:25:45,416
- But now, you're not living your life?
- No, not the one I want.

239
00:25:46,041 --> 00:25:48,750
Banel, you can't
go live there.

240
00:25:48,916 --> 00:25:51,500
Of course yes,
the houses have never been inhabited.

241
00:25:52,583 --> 00:25:54,000
Don't you find that weird?

242
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:57,916
There is something bad there.

243
00:25:58,541 --> 00:26:01,208
Do you think it became like this?
in one night?

244
00:26:01,375 --> 00:26:02,750
All buried and...

245
00:26:02,916 --> 00:26:05,750
Banel, you can't live
in a cursed place.

246
00:26:05,916 --> 00:26:07,708
It's nonsense.

247
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:11,916
Anyway, the mother
and Adama's uncles will refuse.

248
00:26:12,083 --> 00:26:14,041
I don't care what their opinion is.

249
00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:23,791
Our decision is made.

250
00:26:46,208 --> 00:26:47,375
Look at me.

251
00:26:55,833 --> 00:26:56,958
No.

252
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:01,583
Look at me!

253
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:05,625
Me.

254
00:27:11,708 --> 00:27:13,375
Am I not a woman?

255
00:27:34,416 --> 00:27:37,250
Your father was so afraid of thunder!

256
00:27:38,041 --> 00:27:41,333
One day we were discussing,
and the sky became dark.

257
00:27:42,041 --> 00:27:43,375
He was scared of his life.

258
00:27:43,541 --> 00:27:46,458
When the thunder rumbled,
he ran away.

259
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:51,875
You had to run away with him,
timid as you are!

260
00:27:52,041 --> 00:27:55,791
I'm not like your father,
I'm not afraid of thunder.

261
00:28:02,625 --> 00:28:05,625
The rain is late,
it should already be there.

262
00:28:06,666 --> 00:28:08,500
It's not the first time.

263
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:12,041
It's true,
it will rain soon God willing.

264
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:15,791
If God wills.

265
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:21,333
Tomorrow,

266
00:28:21,666 --> 00:28:24,833
the village elders go to pray
for the rain to come.

267
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,541
They want you to be there.

268
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:29,583
I don't understand.

269
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:32,083
Why do they want to see me?

270
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:34,750
They don't know
that I refused to be leader?

271
00:28:34,916 --> 00:28:36,083
No.

272
00:28:55,541 --> 00:28:56,625
Banel?

273
00:29:02,083 --> 00:29:03,291
I'm going to get married.

274
00:29:06,458 --> 00:29:07,625
With whom ?

275
00:29:09,083 --> 00:29:11,041
Salif, from the Kane house.

276
00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:14,833
He seems nice.

277
00:29:15,625 --> 00:29:18,875
I hope we will be as happy
than Adama and you.

278
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:29,291
In reality,

279
00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:32,791
I'm a little scared,
I don't really know him.

280
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,250
Of course you know him.

281
00:29:36,416 --> 00:29:38,583
Here they are all the same.

282
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:41,583
Why do you say that ?

283
00:29:42,333 --> 00:29:44,625
Omar is Djibril,

284
00:29:44,791 --> 00:29:46,000
who is Yéro,

285
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:47,208
who is Salif,

286
00:29:47,375 --> 00:29:48,666
who is Ousmane,

287
00:29:48,916 --> 00:29:50,083
who is Bilal,

288
00:29:50,250 --> 00:29:51,625
who is Harouna.

289
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:54,625
Here, all men are the same.

290
00:29:54,833 --> 00:29:55,958
They get up,

291
00:29:56,125 --> 00:29:57,333
they go to work,

292
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:58,666
they come back,

293
00:29:58,833 --> 00:29:59,958
they eat among themselves

294
00:30:00,125 --> 00:30:01,666
and they go to bed.

295
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,375
The only time you will be with him,

296
00:30:03,541 --> 00:30:05,208
it will be night in your room,

297
00:30:05,375 --> 00:30:08,000
where you won't talk to each other,

298
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:10,458
because you will have nothing to say to each other.

299
00:30:10,958 --> 00:30:12,958
And it will be like this every day,

300
00:30:13,125 --> 00:30:14,833
because to them, you are just a woman.

301
00:30:17,041 --> 00:30:17,916
And Adama?

302
00:30:19,416 --> 00:30:20,958
Adama is different.

303
00:30:22,375 --> 00:30:23,708
I'm not sure.

304
00:30:23,875 --> 00:30:26,833
If Yéro hadn't died,
I would be married to Adama.

305
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,583
When I was little, people told me
that I would marry him.

306
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:32,416
Yes, but it's with me
that he is today,

307
00:30:32,583 --> 00:30:35,500
because the good Lord gave us
a second chance.

308
00:30:35,666 --> 00:30:38,333
If you are married to Adama,
it's because Yéro is dead.

309
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,750
Adama accomplished
his duty as a Muslim.

310
00:30:40,916 --> 00:30:42,250
You call that luck?

311
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:43,916
Yes.

312
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:46,708
How can you say that?

313
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,000
You don't have a heart?

314
00:30:52,916 --> 00:30:56,041
I never wanted to marry Yéro,
but I had no choice.

315
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:02,666
It consoled me to live
in the same house as Adama

316
00:31:03,208 --> 00:31:05,541
and spend time with him.

317
00:31:06,250 --> 00:31:08,083
I don't understand...

318
00:31:08,875 --> 00:31:12,291
Despite my marriage to Yéro,
we never stopped loving each other.

319
00:31:12,458 --> 00:31:14,500
I don't want to know, shut up!

320
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:17,833
So yes, I was relieved
when Yéro died.

321
00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:21,375
With Adama, we could finally
to be together without hiding.

322
00:31:26,333 --> 00:31:27,708
You are crazy.

323
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:36,291
We can't go
against his destiny.

324
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:48,458
Your mother is gone

325
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:53,291
Pick you a tamarind

326
00:31:55,208 --> 00:31:58,250
But ate it on the way

327
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,916
I couldn't join you at the houses,
I had to look after the baby.

328
00:32:46,833 --> 00:32:48,875
You're nice to take care of her.

329
00:32:49,041 --> 00:32:50,833
I was given no choice...

330
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,291
So, have you made good progress?

331
00:32:53,791 --> 00:32:56,250
I dug them out almost halfway.

332
00:32:56,416 --> 00:32:58,500
I could see inside.

333
00:32:58,666 --> 00:33:00,375
Tell me, what is it like?

334
00:33:00,541 --> 00:33:03,250
I immediately knew
where our room would be.

335
00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:06,208
It's really huge.

336
00:33:06,875 --> 00:33:08,166
During the day,

337
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:11,041
the rays of the sun
return to the house.

338
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:15,375
It's so big and bright
that everything seems peaceful.

339
00:33:15,541 --> 00:33:16,583
We will be happy there.

340
00:33:16,750 --> 00:33:17,750
Good morning.

341
00:33:18,291 --> 00:33:19,458
Good morning.

342
00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:21,416
Where were you?

343
00:33:21,583 --> 00:33:23,875
We had a meeting
among the village elders.

344
00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:26,666
Four cows died
because of the heat.

345
00:33:28,041 --> 00:33:29,666
I didn't know.

346
00:33:30,041 --> 00:33:32,958
Your absence at prayer
was noticed by everyone.

347
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:34,958
This is the first time

348
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:38,041
that a prayer is said without a leader.

349
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:42,041
If you had gone there
as I asked you,

350
00:33:42,208 --> 00:33:45,458
God would have accepted our prayers
and the rain would have arrived.

351
00:33:52,791 --> 00:33:54,666
Maybe I should have gone...

352
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:58,208
All the men in the village
can be a leader.

353
00:33:58,375 --> 00:34:02,333
It's not about blood,
and you have made your choice.

354
00:34:08,833 --> 00:34:11,208
There is nothing left in the fields.

355
00:34:11,583 --> 00:34:18,208
Maybe we should move the herd
in other pastures.

356
00:34:18,583 --> 00:34:22,624
No, it's too far.

357
00:34:23,083 --> 00:34:26,416
It's going to be difficult.

358
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:29,749
Where I lead my cows,
there is nothing left either.

359
00:34:31,499 --> 00:34:34,708
So if there is nothing left
in our fields,

360
00:34:35,124 --> 00:34:38,458
and the rain does not come,

361
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:42,583
it’s that we have to leave.

362
00:34:42,749 --> 00:34:43,999
But where?

363
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:45,416
Elsewhere.

364
00:35:05,208 --> 00:35:06,541
I'm tired.

365
00:35:59,666 --> 00:36:00,875
Adama?

366
00:36:28,625 --> 00:36:30,791
I had no other choice
than kill her

367
00:36:31,291 --> 00:36:33,750
to be able to at least
collect the meat.

368
00:36:33,916 --> 00:36:35,958
She was a very fragile cow.

369
00:36:36,125 --> 00:36:38,291
With this sun that persists,

370
00:36:38,833 --> 00:36:40,708
and the rain that does not come,

371
00:36:40,875 --> 00:36:42,791
she grew weaker day by day.

372
00:36:42,958 --> 00:36:44,750
She would never have spent the night.

373
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:46,708
God is great.

374
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,250
Why does the weather change so suddenly?

375
00:37:00,416 --> 00:37:01,833
Because people change.

376
00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:17,708
Why are you going there?

377
00:37:23,125 --> 00:37:25,958
Our cows must water at night
so as not to die.

378
00:37:26,125 --> 00:37:26,833
And me then?

379
00:37:27,625 --> 00:37:29,375
I need you too.

380
00:37:29,541 --> 00:37:31,166
It's not the same, Banel...

381
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:34,458
Who will dig if I have to stay
make food,

382
00:37:34,625 --> 00:37:36,583
laundry,
babysit other people's babies,

383
00:37:36,750 --> 00:37:39,166
and you take care of the flock
day and night?

384
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:41,625
Don't worry about the houses.

385
00:37:41,791 --> 00:37:43,708
I will dig
as soon as I have time.

386
00:37:44,291 --> 00:37:46,833
For now,
cows are the priority.

387
00:38:35,333 --> 00:38:37,083
I don't hear them anymore.

388
00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:40,041
They disappeared.

389
00:38:42,541 --> 00:38:44,583
“Banel, Banel!”

390
00:38:45,708 --> 00:38:49,375
they implored me
in a voice so sweet and so sad.

391
00:39:02,625 --> 00:39:04,333
It's strange, mom,

392
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:05,833
I am free.

393
00:42:26,958 --> 00:42:27,958
THANKS.

394
00:42:34,541 --> 00:42:35,750
I don't want it. Go away!

395
00:42:43,833 --> 00:42:45,000
THANKS.

396
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000
He's good.

397
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:02,708
You can tell Téné to serve food.

398
00:43:03,625 --> 00:43:04,625
Aren't we waiting for Adama?

399
00:43:06,458 --> 00:43:08,333
I don't know when he will return.

400
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,833
Maybe he will stay
with the cows.

401
00:43:11,666 --> 00:43:12,708
Again ?

402
00:43:12,875 --> 00:43:14,625
We lost half the herd,

403
00:43:14,791 --> 00:43:16,666
we can't lose the others.

404
00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:20,416
Sit down, my daughter,
I would like to talk to you.

405
00:43:28,791 --> 00:43:31,875
It's been almost a year
that you are married to Adama,

406
00:43:32,041 --> 00:43:34,166
and you haven't gotten pregnant yet.

407
00:43:34,333 --> 00:43:35,458
So what?

408
00:43:35,625 --> 00:43:37,250
Maybe you're sick.

409
00:43:37,416 --> 00:43:38,750
No, everything is fine.

410
00:43:39,166 --> 00:43:41,166
So why don't you have children?

411
00:43:41,333 --> 00:43:43,458
I have Adama and that's enough for me.

412
00:43:43,958 --> 00:43:46,166
Adama must have a male heir

413
00:43:46,333 --> 00:43:48,750
to preserve
the lineage of village chief.

414
00:43:48,916 --> 00:43:51,916
He refused to be leader,
the lineage is already broken.

415
00:43:52,083 --> 00:43:54,791
Because you put him
ideas in the head

416
00:43:54,958 --> 00:43:56,541
with these cursed houses!

417
00:43:56,708 --> 00:43:58,500
It was both our idea.

418
00:44:00,666 --> 00:44:01,958
You are a woman.

419
00:44:02,416 --> 00:44:03,666
Yes ! So what?

420
00:44:04,375 --> 00:44:07,375
Your duty,
is to give your husband children.

421
00:44:07,541 --> 00:44:08,333
No.

422
00:44:11,125 --> 00:44:12,416
So soon

423
00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:15,583
you have no children,
Adama will take a second wife.

424
00:44:15,875 --> 00:44:17,125
No, never!

425
00:44:20,458 --> 00:44:22,333
Only God knows the future.

426
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:24,708
The rest of us don't know anything.

427
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:33,041
The situation is critical.
There are no more fish in the river.

428
00:44:33,791 --> 00:44:37,208
There is no more oil at the market
and more milk!

429
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,250
All these misfortunes happen
because of this hot wind.

430
00:44:44,458 --> 00:44:46,875
For me, it's the absence of rain
which worries me.

431
00:44:47,791 --> 00:44:50,291
These things don't happen by chance.

432
00:45:21,791 --> 00:45:22,500
Good morning.

433
00:45:23,583 --> 00:45:24,708
Are you doing well ?

434
00:45:24,875 --> 00:45:25,833
Yes.

435
00:45:58,250 --> 00:46:00,041
What are you doing here?

436
00:46:00,208 --> 00:46:01,458
Go write elsewhere!

437
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:06,083
What are you waiting for, get out!

438
00:46:06,583 --> 00:46:09,083
Malik, come work next to me.

439
00:47:35,708 --> 00:47:36,958
I'm going to bed.

440
00:47:37,125 --> 00:47:39,458
It's been weeks
that you didn't dig.

441
00:47:39,625 --> 00:47:42,750
You changed your mind
for houses, right?

442
00:47:44,041 --> 00:47:46,500
I don't have time anymore,
I have to take care of the cows.

443
00:47:47,458 --> 00:47:48,708
So I'll go dig!

444
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:52,625
I don't want
that you dig in this heat.

445
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,583
The sand is hot.

446
00:47:54,750 --> 00:47:56,666
As soon as the rains arrive, I get back to it.

447
00:47:56,833 --> 00:47:58,375
But it's drought.

448
00:47:58,541 --> 00:48:01,083
It may rain in a month
like next year.

449
00:48:02,791 --> 00:48:04,041
So we'll wait.

450
00:48:06,625 --> 00:48:07,958
You promised me.

451
00:48:11,541 --> 00:48:12,958
I know.

452
00:48:30,041 --> 00:48:30,916
Banel!

453
00:48:53,458 --> 00:48:55,333
Djibril, come quickly!

454
00:48:55,791 --> 00:48:57,708
And take your knife!

455
00:49:03,625 --> 00:49:05,166
What's going on?

456
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:07,916
All the cows are dead,
except one!

457
00:49:34,041 --> 00:49:35,125
Banel!

458
00:49:37,666 --> 00:49:40,166
You have to skin the cow
before the meat rots.

459
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Adama?

460
00:50:48,833 --> 00:50:49,875
Get up.

461
00:54:42,166 --> 00:54:44,625
Have a good trip, my son!

462
00:56:41,041 --> 00:56:42,250
It's raining.

463
00:56:43,791 --> 00:56:44,500
It's raining !

464
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,875
Adama!

465
00:56:51,375 --> 00:56:52,166
What ?

466
00:56:52,583 --> 00:56:54,291
Get up, it's raining!

467
00:57:53,916 --> 00:57:56,208
We ask God to welcome him.

468
00:57:56,875 --> 00:57:59,083
God bless him.

469
00:57:59,791 --> 00:58:01,541
Let's recite

470
00:58:01,916 --> 00:58:05,125
Surahs Al-Faatiha and Al-Ikhlaas.

471
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:40,458
Follow me we must pray
for another death.

472
00:59:19,833 --> 00:59:24,125
We must be patient
and not give up in the face of trials.

473
00:59:24,583 --> 00:59:26,291
God tests us

474
00:59:26,458 --> 00:59:29,500
in order to bring us back
on the right track.

475
01:02:09,416 --> 01:02:10,375
You killed him.

476
01:02:39,791 --> 01:02:40,875
Banel!

477
01:02:52,666 --> 01:02:54,666
You're crazy to go out in this sun.

478
01:03:04,500 --> 01:03:05,583
What do you have?

479
01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:07,833
Nothing.
Why isn't mom here?

480
01:03:08,625 --> 01:03:10,416
She's been at the Wane house since dawn.

481
01:03:10,583 --> 01:03:12,208
Their grandfather is dead.

482
01:03:12,375 --> 01:03:13,791
I didn't know.

483
01:03:15,333 --> 01:03:17,416
This is the fourth this week.

484
01:03:18,541 --> 01:03:20,083
It's a warning.

485
01:03:21,916 --> 01:03:23,958
So let's pray to God
so that it will rain soon.

486
01:03:24,125 --> 01:03:27,208
There will be no more deaths
and we can start digging again.

487
01:03:28,125 --> 01:03:30,041
- Banel?
- Yes ?

488
01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:35,333
Give up, please.

489
01:03:36,291 --> 01:03:38,375
You can't live
in these houses.

490
01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:42,000
Look around you.
Everything is linked:

491
01:03:42,666 --> 01:03:44,708
the deaths, the drought,

492
01:03:45,500 --> 01:03:47,666
these houses, you and Adama.

493
01:03:48,125 --> 01:03:49,500
It’s nonsense!

494
01:03:49,666 --> 01:03:51,833
I told you I won't give up.

495
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,083
- For what ?
- I can't.

496
01:03:54,250 --> 01:03:56,458
- For what ? Explain to me!
- Banel and Adama.

497
01:03:58,333 --> 01:04:01,750
You only have Adama on your lips,
as if he were your prophet.

498
01:04:01,916 --> 01:04:04,000
You have always been jealous.

499
01:04:04,166 --> 01:04:07,208
- Jealous of what?
- From him, from me, from us!

500
01:04:07,750 --> 01:04:09,791
Nothing can make me jealous.

501
01:04:10,708 --> 01:04:11,958
Banel, look at you.

502
01:04:12,458 --> 01:04:15,916
You hurt me.
You don't have a single friend, no one.

503
01:04:16,208 --> 01:04:19,291
When you're not with Adama,
you are lost.

504
01:04:19,458 --> 01:04:21,333
- Without him, you are nothing.
- Shut up!

505
01:04:23,583 --> 01:04:24,500
You have changed.

506
01:04:24,666 --> 01:04:26,166
It’s you who’s changed!

507
01:04:28,375 --> 01:04:32,000
Racine, you are my twin brother,
you must be on my side!

508
01:04:33,916 --> 01:04:34,916
No.

509
01:04:35,083 --> 01:04:38,000
And I thank God
for giving me reason.

510
01:04:54,625 --> 01:04:55,458
Adama!

511
01:04:57,666 --> 01:04:58,708
Banel?

512
01:05:00,750 --> 01:05:01,916
What's going on?

513
01:05:06,208 --> 01:05:07,000
Banel!

514
01:05:14,291 --> 01:05:15,500
Dig!

515
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:25,541
Dig!

516
01:05:27,958 --> 01:05:29,125
Dig, what are you waiting for?

517
01:05:32,416 --> 01:05:34,333
- What's wrong with you?
- Dig!

518
01:05:40,875 --> 01:05:42,708
Stop looking at me and dig!

519
01:05:45,333 --> 01:05:47,583
You are a coward, you are not a man!
Dig!

520
01:06:43,166 --> 01:06:46,583
You promised me to dig
to the last grain of sand,

521
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:49,333
even if for that
you lost both hands.

522
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:53,583
But we're still stuck here.

523
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,166
I'm suffocating in this house.

524
01:07:00,916 --> 01:07:03,000
I don't want to live like them.

525
01:07:05,500 --> 01:07:06,958
I can't.

526
01:07:11,666 --> 01:07:13,541
I don't want children.

527
01:07:15,375 --> 01:07:16,708
I don't want to.

528
01:07:19,333 --> 01:07:22,500
If you knew
what I did for you, for us.

529
01:07:24,708 --> 01:07:28,000
So that we can both be together.

530
01:07:32,500 --> 01:07:34,125
What have you done, Banel?

531
01:07:43,416 --> 01:07:46,166
Destiny gave us
a second chance.

532
01:07:46,333 --> 01:07:48,250
We won't have another, Adama.

533
01:07:51,333 --> 01:07:52,958
The drought,

534
01:07:53,958 --> 01:07:55,291
the dead,

535
01:07:56,083 --> 01:08:00,333
men who leave the village
because there is nothing left here.

536
01:08:01,208 --> 01:08:03,333
Maybe it's
a question of lineage.

537
01:08:04,041 --> 01:08:07,208
What if all this happened
because I refused to be leader?

538
01:08:07,375 --> 01:08:08,458
No.

539
01:08:08,625 --> 01:08:12,166
You have to think of me first,
to us, to our homes.

540
01:08:12,791 --> 01:08:15,375
Let the others manage,
we don't care.

541
01:08:15,541 --> 01:08:16,499
No.

542
01:08:17,499 --> 01:08:18,708
Not me.

543
01:08:21,416 --> 01:08:23,833
Adama, I need you.

544
01:08:24,416 --> 01:08:27,291
- Without you...
- We should have run away from here.

545
01:08:29,499 --> 01:08:31,041
When you told me

546
01:08:31,499 --> 01:08:34,791
that your father was going to marry you to Yéro,

547
01:08:35,458 --> 01:08:37,624
I wanted us to leave,
do you remember that?

548
01:08:38,916 --> 01:08:40,499
Forget all that.

549
01:08:40,874 --> 01:08:43,083
Just remember: Banel and Adama.

550
01:08:43,249 --> 01:08:44,791
Haven't you forgotten?

551
01:08:47,791 --> 01:08:49,291
I forgot.

552
01:08:50,624 --> 01:08:54,041
No, you didn't forget!
Say it: Banel and Adama.

553
01:10:32,708 --> 01:10:33,750
Banel?

554
01:11:27,833 --> 01:11:29,416
Your own niece...

555
01:11:31,208 --> 01:11:32,666
Yero's daughter.

556
01:11:35,875 --> 01:11:37,500
I warned you though.

557
01:12:49,291 --> 01:12:50,416
Adama.

558
01:12:52,041 --> 01:12:53,791
You made the right decision.

559
01:12:55,833 --> 01:12:57,208
Good night.

560
01:13:00,333 --> 01:13:01,583
Good night.

561
01:13:03,666 --> 01:13:05,416
I am proud of you, my son.

562
01:13:51,625 --> 01:13:53,250
Banel, I'm sorry.

563
01:14:04,416 --> 01:14:05,875
I'm afraid.

564
01:14:40,833 --> 01:14:42,583
I'm scared too.

565
01:16:51,583 --> 01:16:54,666
Banel, what are you doing?
Come help us!

566
01:20:47,958 --> 01:20:49,125
Banel!

567
01:20:52,250 --> 01:20:53,500
Banel!

568
01:21:37,166 --> 01:21:39,000
Once we were kings,

569
01:21:41,791 --> 01:21:43,583
masters of ourselves,

570
01:21:45,250 --> 01:21:47,083
masters of the world,

571
01:21:48,541 --> 01:21:50,166
free.

572
01:21:59,541 --> 01:22:01,666
But today, who are we?

573
01:22:04,750 --> 01:22:05,916
Flesh.

574
01:22:07,125 --> 01:22:08,416
Blood.

575
01:22:09,291 --> 01:22:10,541
Evil.

576
01:22:12,750 --> 01:22:14,458
Still this Evil.

577
01:22:19,416 --> 01:22:21,208
And before my eyes,

578
01:22:22,666 --> 01:22:24,583
the world is unraveling.

579
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:43,041
The end.

580
01:23:33,625 --> 01:23:36,666
It was the story of

581
01:23:37,625 --> 01:23:42,125
Banel and Adama
