Set in the terrestrial majesty of the Sahel, Banel & Adama is a tragic romance of two young lovers facing the challenges of independence and tradition. The fated lovers have plans that do not include the expectations of others, until the rains do not come, the cattle begin to die, the men leave and Banel, once lovelorn and lost in responsibility, is called to a life they had not planned. Banel & Adama is a lyrical odyssey that takes a hypnotic descent into mythic fabulism with the profundity of a timeless fable.
