3
00:01:41,841 --> 00:01:44,006
Every day, I hear them call to me

4
00:01:45,216 --> 00:01:47,006
in their soft, pretty voices.

5
00:01:48,257 --> 00:01:48,965
Banel!

6
00:01:49,757 --> 00:01:50,506
Banel!

7
00:01:53,049 --> 00:01:55,840
They plead and they persist.

8
00:02:00,674 --> 00:02:02,048
But I do not respond.

9
00:02:02,591 --> 00:02:04,756
I'm happy, papa, I'm having fun.

10
00:02:23,216 --> 00:02:25,715
Then they become agitated and angry.

11
00:02:26,341 --> 00:02:28,798
They no longer whisper. They accuse me.

12
00:02:51,924 --> 00:02:52,965
Yes, I love.

13
00:02:57,341 --> 00:02:58,840
As a woman can love.

14
00:03:17,674 --> 00:03:18,756
Adama?

15
00:03:25,049 --> 00:03:27,798
We should go
if we want to dig before nightfall.

16
00:03:29,091 --> 00:03:29,965
Yes, let's go.

17
00:04:19,341 --> 00:04:20,215
Adama?

18
00:04:22,132 --> 00:04:23,131
Tell me a story.

19
00:04:26,882 --> 00:04:28,215
It was a long time ago,

20
00:04:28,507 --> 00:04:29,840
many years before now.

21
00:04:33,049 --> 00:04:35,715
The best of times, so they say.

22
00:04:39,841 --> 00:04:43,840
At that time lived Kounda,
one of my ancestors.

23
00:04:46,924 --> 00:04:49,465
He had a gift,
being able to talk to sirens.

24
00:04:55,174 --> 00:04:56,965
Kounda was always by the river.

25
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:01,381
He was a fine fisherman.

26
00:05:01,674 --> 00:05:04,798
The sirens had taught him
the secrets of the river.

27
00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:08,423
Each evening,

28
00:05:08,716 --> 00:05:10,340
he brought back fish for dinner

29
00:05:10,632 --> 00:05:13,215
and everyone ate
to their heart's content.

30
00:05:17,466 --> 00:05:19,423
It was the best of times.

31
00:05:20,091 --> 00:05:21,215
So they say.

32
00:05:26,466 --> 00:05:27,506
But one day,

33
00:05:28,757 --> 00:05:30,465
a girl drowned in the river.

34
00:05:32,882 --> 00:05:35,965
Everybody accused the sirens
of luring her down.

35
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:43,756
The sirens,
furious and above all proud,

36
00:05:44,049 --> 00:05:47,506
prohibited the villagers
from entering their waters.

37
00:05:47,841 --> 00:05:50,215
Neither to fish, nor even to swim.

38
00:05:56,132 --> 00:05:57,590
Kounda was terribly upset

39
00:05:57,882 --> 00:06:00,340
and felt betrayed by his friends.

40
00:06:05,507 --> 00:06:08,423
It was the worst of times, so they say.

41
00:06:14,341 --> 00:06:16,590
So, to end this conflict, Kounda...

42
00:06:16,882 --> 00:06:18,215
Is it a true story?

43
00:06:19,341 --> 00:06:20,465
What do you mean?

44
00:06:20,841 --> 00:06:21,923
It really happened?

45
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,465
I think so.

46
00:06:24,174 --> 00:06:25,465
Who told you it?

47
00:06:25,757 --> 00:06:28,340
Elder Abou Dia during my apprenticeship.

48
00:06:30,341 --> 00:06:31,548
And you believe it?

49
00:06:32,924 --> 00:06:33,798
Yes.

50
00:07:18,674 --> 00:07:19,798
There are no sirens.

51
00:07:21,091 --> 00:07:22,090
I told you.

52
00:07:47,007 --> 00:07:48,215
What do you see?

53
00:07:50,507 --> 00:07:51,756
A trail of powder.

54
00:07:52,632 --> 00:07:53,965
Lots of golden specks.

55
00:07:56,799 --> 00:07:58,131
Like it's raining stars.

56
00:08:00,007 --> 00:08:01,090
And what else?

57
00:08:05,591 --> 00:08:07,506
There are no more stars.

58
00:08:09,091 --> 00:08:10,256
They've disappeared.

59
00:08:11,174 --> 00:08:12,965
It's like the fire of hell.

60
00:08:18,924 --> 00:08:27,298
Banel & Adama

61
00:08:48,674 --> 00:08:49,590
Adama?

62
00:08:49,882 --> 00:08:51,881
Can we dig earlier this afternoon?

63
00:08:52,174 --> 00:08:53,715
Yes, that's a good idea.

64
00:08:56,466 --> 00:08:57,215
Banel!

65
00:08:57,466 --> 00:08:59,256
- What?
- Auntie wants you.

66
00:08:59,549 --> 00:09:00,548
We're coming.

67
00:09:03,882 --> 00:09:04,798
You're beautiful.

68
00:09:18,632 --> 00:09:19,631
Morning.

69
00:09:21,049 --> 00:09:21,965
Morning, mama.

70
00:09:23,382 --> 00:09:24,256
Good morning.

71
00:09:24,549 --> 00:09:25,631
Did you sleep well?

72
00:09:25,924 --> 00:09:27,256
No, it was too hot.

73
00:09:27,882 --> 00:09:30,048
Tonight,
I'll move your mosquito net outside.

74
00:09:30,341 --> 00:09:32,923
- You wanted to see us?
- I need you today.

75
00:09:33,216 --> 00:09:35,006
I want you to do laundry.

76
00:09:40,382 --> 00:09:41,215
Mama,

77
00:09:41,507 --> 00:09:43,006
I need Banel's help with the cattle.

78
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:45,381
And I have no clothes to wash.

79
00:09:46,132 --> 00:09:48,006
I want you to do my laundry.

80
00:09:49,132 --> 00:09:52,048
You won't be alone, Adama.
Omar will go with you.

81
00:09:55,924 --> 00:09:56,881
Do her laundry.

82
00:09:57,466 --> 00:09:59,548
I'll be back soon, I promise.

83
00:10:35,507 --> 00:10:38,340
Do your laundry
before the sun's too strong.

84
00:10:39,882 --> 00:10:41,881
Yes, what are you waiting for?

85
00:10:59,341 --> 00:11:01,715
Don't worry,
you'll be with Adama tonight.

86
00:11:38,674 --> 00:11:39,590
Adama!

87
00:11:40,507 --> 00:11:41,506
Where are you going?

88
00:11:41,841 --> 00:11:43,840
- I missed you.
- I missed you more.

89
00:11:44,382 --> 00:11:46,215
- You've been waiting long?
- Yes!

90
00:12:38,507 --> 00:12:40,798
It's two years now since Yero died,

91
00:12:42,007 --> 00:12:46,048
widowing his spouse, Téné,
and second wife, Banel.

92
00:12:46,341 --> 00:12:48,923
May God bless his good deeds.

93
00:12:49,591 --> 00:12:52,381
Binta has lost her husband
and her eldest son, Yero,

94
00:12:52,632 --> 00:12:54,048
but thanks to the Almighty

95
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,381
her younger son, Adama, is alive.

96
00:12:57,716 --> 00:12:58,756
One year ago,

97
00:12:59,382 --> 00:13:02,756
Adama fulfilled his Muslim duty
toward his older brother

98
00:13:03,257 --> 00:13:07,381
by marrying Banel,
who was widowed very young.

99
00:13:07,674 --> 00:13:09,340
May God bless his good deeds.

100
00:13:10,882 --> 00:13:12,590
Since Yero passed away,

101
00:13:12,882 --> 00:13:15,090
and until Adama
completed his apprenticeship,

102
00:13:16,007 --> 00:13:18,215
Djibril, my son and Adama's cousin,

103
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:19,798
was acting village chief.

104
00:13:21,216 --> 00:13:22,090
Adama!

105
00:13:22,632 --> 00:13:25,215
Since your father and brother
have passed,

106
00:13:25,674 --> 00:13:27,923
you must now fulfill your duty

107
00:13:28,757 --> 00:13:29,965
and become village chief.

108
00:13:32,674 --> 00:13:34,256
He's only 19.

109
00:13:35,132 --> 00:13:36,256
He's too young.

110
00:13:37,049 --> 00:13:39,340
Age doesn't matter. Adama is a man.

111
00:13:39,841 --> 00:13:42,006
His apprenticeship
with Abou Dia is now over.

112
00:13:43,007 --> 00:13:43,965
He is ready.

113
00:13:45,091 --> 00:13:46,423
I shall not be chief.

114
00:13:47,174 --> 00:13:49,798
I don't want to be.
Djibril can continue.

115
00:13:51,007 --> 00:13:51,965
No.

116
00:13:52,341 --> 00:13:54,006
We must abide by lineage.

117
00:13:54,341 --> 00:13:57,006
It's your turn now. You have no choice.

118
00:13:57,341 --> 00:13:58,798
I know but I refuse.

119
00:14:03,216 --> 00:14:05,631
Adama, is your mind made up?

120
00:14:06,549 --> 00:14:07,215
Yes.

121
00:14:08,632 --> 00:14:10,215
Whatever your choice,

122
00:14:10,841 --> 00:14:14,006
being chief is in your blood.
You cannot change that.

123
00:14:21,632 --> 00:14:23,298
You were right to tell them.

124
00:14:23,591 --> 00:14:25,798
You, at least,
won't be forced into anything.

125
00:14:26,091 --> 00:14:27,340
You're a man.

126
00:14:32,841 --> 00:14:33,756
Banel,

127
00:14:34,466 --> 00:14:35,506
now I've told them,

128
00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:38,215
we don't have to continue living here.

129
00:14:38,466 --> 00:14:40,215
We're moving into the houses?

130
00:14:40,924 --> 00:14:42,840
As soon as we dig them out, yes.

131
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:46,590
Imagine.
Just you and me, in our houses.

132
00:14:48,257 --> 00:14:49,340
Banel and Adama.

133
00:14:50,924 --> 00:14:51,923
Banel and Adama.

134
00:16:12,382 --> 00:16:14,548
Yero Sall

135
00:16:55,132 --> 00:16:56,506
When you go with the cattle,

136
00:16:56,841 --> 00:16:59,715
take Djibril's, too.
He can't look after them.

137
00:17:00,924 --> 00:17:02,215
Banel will help me.

138
00:17:02,757 --> 00:17:04,548
No, not Banel.

139
00:17:05,007 --> 00:17:06,340
Go with Omar.

140
00:17:06,632 --> 00:17:09,465
Omar's slow and lazy.
Banel is more efficient.

141
00:17:10,216 --> 00:17:11,881
She replaces Marie in the field.

142
00:17:12,174 --> 00:17:15,006
Marie's pregnancy is difficult.
She needs rest.

143
00:17:15,341 --> 00:17:16,506
We're short of women.

144
00:17:16,841 --> 00:17:18,965
The field must be ready for the rains.

145
00:17:23,716 --> 00:17:25,548
Why refuse to be chief?

146
00:17:26,216 --> 00:17:28,340
I told you,
I don't want to be chief.

147
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:30,298
That's no reason.

148
00:17:31,966 --> 00:17:33,006
I'm not papa.

149
00:17:33,507 --> 00:17:34,381
I'm not Yero.

150
00:17:34,674 --> 00:17:35,798
I want something else.

151
00:17:36,341 --> 00:17:37,215
What else?

152
00:17:37,841 --> 00:17:39,631
Banel and I are moving out.

153
00:17:40,174 --> 00:17:41,423
How come?

154
00:17:42,007 --> 00:17:44,006
We want our own house.

155
00:17:44,341 --> 00:17:46,798
With our children, our herd of cattle.

156
00:17:48,007 --> 00:17:48,840
Where?

157
00:17:49,716 --> 00:17:51,298
The buried houses outside the village.

158
00:17:52,382 --> 00:17:54,381
Banel put that idea in your head.

159
00:17:56,216 --> 00:17:58,798
We've started digging
so we can move in.

160
00:18:00,341 --> 00:18:04,381
Custom dictates, after apprenticeship,
only you can be chief.

161
00:18:08,882 --> 00:18:10,423
My mind is made up, mama.

162
00:18:17,132 --> 00:18:18,965
- Where are you going?
- This way.

163
00:18:32,007 --> 00:18:33,715
They should've sealed the well.

164
00:18:35,007 --> 00:18:36,256
If they'd sealed it,

165
00:18:37,341 --> 00:18:39,298
Yero wouldn't have fallen and died.

166
00:18:42,966 --> 00:18:44,840
You cannot die before your time,

167
00:18:45,757 --> 00:18:48,090
nor not die
when your time comes.

168
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,006
Rain comes

169
00:18:55,341 --> 00:18:56,506
Peace comes

170
00:18:56,841 --> 00:18:58,423
If Allah wants

171
00:18:58,674 --> 00:18:59,881
Peace comes

172
00:19:00,091 --> 00:19:01,506
Rain comes

173
00:19:01,716 --> 00:19:03,256
Peace comes

174
00:19:03,466 --> 00:19:04,798
If Allah wants

175
00:19:05,091 --> 00:19:06,423
Peace comes

176
00:19:06,716 --> 00:19:08,048
Let's dig our field

177
00:19:08,341 --> 00:19:09,506
Peace is coming

178
00:19:09,841 --> 00:19:11,215
If Allah wants

179
00:19:11,466 --> 00:19:12,798
Peace is coming

180
00:22:20,091 --> 00:22:20,923
Thanks.

181
00:22:25,466 --> 00:22:26,423
He's odd.

182
00:22:27,174 --> 00:22:30,423
Always writing
even when he's not studying the Quran.

183
00:22:30,757 --> 00:22:31,798
Who?

184
00:22:34,341 --> 00:22:35,215
Malik.

185
00:22:36,341 --> 00:22:38,965
Like he's reading your mind
when he looks at you.

186
00:22:39,674 --> 00:22:40,590
You have secrets?

187
00:22:41,466 --> 00:22:42,298
No.

188
00:22:42,924 --> 00:22:45,131
Maybe he thinks he's a scribe angel.

189
00:22:45,424 --> 00:22:46,465
A scribe angel?

190
00:22:46,757 --> 00:22:49,756
Yes, they record
all our good and bad deeds.

191
00:22:54,591 --> 00:22:55,840
Aren't they beautiful?

192
00:22:56,757 --> 00:22:58,215
How much do you want?

193
00:22:59,341 --> 00:23:00,131
Hello.

194
00:23:02,716 --> 00:23:03,631
Banel.

195
00:23:05,174 --> 00:23:06,923
We haven't seen you recently,

196
00:23:07,549 --> 00:23:09,881
even though you live five minutes away.

197
00:23:11,007 --> 00:23:14,548
Mama, I work from dawn until sundown.

198
00:23:15,341 --> 00:23:16,590
It's only normal.

199
00:23:19,382 --> 00:23:20,881
Still no child?

200
00:23:21,841 --> 00:23:22,840
What for?

201
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:43,548
Racine, you should know the Quran
by heart now.

202
00:23:43,841 --> 00:23:46,048
Age 9, I knew it
like the lines of my hand.

203
00:23:46,341 --> 00:23:48,215
True, you have that gift,

204
00:23:48,632 --> 00:23:50,673
but do you know its meaning?

205
00:23:50,924 --> 00:23:52,423
Do you know its value?

206
00:23:53,632 --> 00:23:56,256
Learning by heart
is pointless without understanding.

207
00:23:56,507 --> 00:23:57,715
You're not wrong.

208
00:23:58,007 --> 00:24:00,965
Unlucky you.
I'm the twin who inherited reason.

209
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:04,298
If you inherited reason,
what's left for me?

210
00:24:05,757 --> 00:24:06,715
The heart.

211
00:24:08,216 --> 00:24:10,465
Fine by me. You can keep reason.

212
00:24:14,924 --> 00:24:17,215
You know you shouldn't sit like that.

213
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:20,756
It's not appropriate for a woman.

214
00:24:21,841 --> 00:24:25,090
So I'll wear pants,
and it won't be a problem.

215
00:24:25,882 --> 00:24:27,048
Heaven forbid!

216
00:24:30,257 --> 00:24:31,381
How is Adama?

217
00:24:32,674 --> 00:24:33,548
Good.

218
00:24:35,549 --> 00:24:36,715
You don't look happy.

219
00:24:37,632 --> 00:24:41,506
I can't herd cattle with him anymore.
I replace Marie in the field.

220
00:24:41,841 --> 00:24:43,631
You know how much that annoys me.

221
00:24:44,341 --> 00:24:45,423
It's not worth it.

222
00:24:45,966 --> 00:24:48,298
You must help the women.
The rains are coming.

223
00:24:48,591 --> 00:24:50,506
I hardly see Adama anymore!

224
00:24:51,216 --> 00:24:53,131
The fields, that's only temporary.

225
00:24:54,091 --> 00:24:55,965
Adama and you is for life.

226
00:24:58,716 --> 00:24:59,965
Banel and Adama.

227
00:25:06,341 --> 00:25:07,631
You're right, Racine.

228
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:10,590
Especially as
we'll move into our house soon.

229
00:25:11,341 --> 00:25:12,256
Which house?

230
00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:15,131
The ones outside the village.

231
00:25:16,591 --> 00:25:18,548
Impossible. They're buried in sand.

232
00:25:18,841 --> 00:25:21,256
We're digging them out. Didn't you know?

233
00:25:22,632 --> 00:25:24,423
I knew you went digging.

234
00:25:25,091 --> 00:25:27,090
I didn't think it was to live there.

235
00:25:29,424 --> 00:25:30,215
I don't get it.

236
00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:34,340
- You have problems at home?
- That's not it.

237
00:25:34,632 --> 00:25:36,506
We want a house of our own.

238
00:25:36,841 --> 00:25:38,590
A house of your own? What for?

239
00:25:38,882 --> 00:25:40,965
To live our lives, just me and Adama.

240
00:25:41,507 --> 00:25:45,215
- Because you're not living it now?
- No, not the one I want.

241
00:25:45,966 --> 00:25:48,548
Banel, you can't go live there.

242
00:25:48,841 --> 00:25:51,006
We can! The houses were uninhabited.

243
00:25:52,507 --> 00:25:53,798
Don't you find that odd?

244
00:25:55,049 --> 00:25:57,548
There's something bad over there.

245
00:25:58,466 --> 00:26:00,881
You think it became like that overnight?

246
00:26:01,341 --> 00:26:02,465
Covered in sand...

247
00:26:02,841 --> 00:26:05,548
Banel, you can't move
into a cursed house.

248
00:26:05,841 --> 00:26:06,965
That's nonsense!

249
00:26:08,007 --> 00:26:11,631
In any case,
Adama's mama and uncles won't agree.

250
00:26:11,924 --> 00:26:13,256
Who cares about them!

251
00:26:22,091 --> 00:26:23,256
Our mind is made up.

252
00:26:46,132 --> 00:26:47,215
Look at me.

253
00:26:55,757 --> 00:26:56,756
No.

254
00:27:00,424 --> 00:27:01,381
Look at me!

255
00:27:04,466 --> 00:27:05,423
Me.

256
00:27:11,632 --> 00:27:12,881
Ain't I a woman?

257
00:27:34,591 --> 00:27:37,048
Your father used to be
so scared of thunder.

258
00:27:37,966 --> 00:27:40,840
One day, we were talking,
and the sky darkened.

259
00:27:41,924 --> 00:27:43,090
The fright of his life!

260
00:27:43,382 --> 00:27:46,048
When thunder began to rumble, he fled.

261
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:51,423
You must have run with him,
a scaredy-cat like you.

262
00:27:52,007 --> 00:27:55,215
I'm not like your father.
I'm not scared of thunder.

263
00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:05,215
The rains are late.
They should be here by now.

264
00:28:06,591 --> 00:28:07,923
It's not the first time.

265
00:28:09,257 --> 00:28:11,840
True. It will rain if Allah wills it.

266
00:28:14,341 --> 00:28:15,590
If Allah wants.

267
00:28:20,091 --> 00:28:21,131
Tomorrow,

268
00:28:21,507 --> 00:28:24,631
the village elders will gather
and pray for rain.

269
00:28:24,924 --> 00:28:26,215
They want you to come.

270
00:28:28,049 --> 00:28:29,006
I don't get it.

271
00:28:29,674 --> 00:28:31,298
Why do they want me there?

272
00:28:32,132 --> 00:28:33,715
They don't know I won't be chief?

273
00:28:34,841 --> 00:28:35,756
No.

274
00:28:55,466 --> 00:28:56,423
Banel?

275
00:29:01,924 --> 00:29:03,090
I'm going to marry.

276
00:29:06,216 --> 00:29:07,340
Who?

277
00:29:09,007 --> 00:29:10,840
Salif, from the Kane family.

278
00:29:13,257 --> 00:29:14,340
He seems nice.

279
00:29:15,549 --> 00:29:18,131
I hope we'll be as happy
as you and Adama.

280
00:29:28,091 --> 00:29:29,090
Actually,

281
00:29:30,174 --> 00:29:32,131
I'm afraid.
I hardly know him.

282
00:29:34,424 --> 00:29:35,590
Of course you do.

283
00:29:36,341 --> 00:29:38,381
Here, they're all the same.

284
00:29:40,174 --> 00:29:41,381
Why do you say that?

285
00:29:42,257 --> 00:29:44,131
Omar is Djibril,

286
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:45,798
who is Yero,

287
00:29:46,091 --> 00:29:47,006
who is Salif,

288
00:29:47,341 --> 00:29:48,465
who is Ousmane,

289
00:29:48,841 --> 00:29:49,881
who is Bilal,

290
00:29:50,174 --> 00:29:51,423
who is Harouna.

291
00:29:51,716 --> 00:29:54,465
Here, no man stands out
from the others.

292
00:29:54,757 --> 00:29:55,756
They get up,

293
00:29:56,049 --> 00:29:57,131
they go to work,

294
00:29:57,424 --> 00:29:58,423
they come home,

295
00:29:58,716 --> 00:29:59,715
they eat together,

296
00:29:59,966 --> 00:30:01,548
and they go to bed.

297
00:30:01,841 --> 00:30:05,006
Your only time with him
will be late in the bedroom,

298
00:30:05,341 --> 00:30:07,798
where you won't talk to each other

299
00:30:08,091 --> 00:30:10,006
because you'll have nothing to say.

300
00:30:10,882 --> 00:30:12,465
And so it goes, every day,

301
00:30:13,049 --> 00:30:14,631
because to them
you're just a woman.

302
00:30:16,966 --> 00:30:17,715
And Adama?

303
00:30:19,341 --> 00:30:20,756
Adama is different.

304
00:30:22,341 --> 00:30:23,256
Not so sure.

305
00:30:23,716 --> 00:30:26,506
If Yero hadn't died,
I'd be married to Adama.

306
00:30:26,841 --> 00:30:29,381
As a girl, I was told I'd marry him.

307
00:30:29,674 --> 00:30:32,006
Yes, but he's with me now

308
00:30:32,507 --> 00:30:35,298
because the good Lord
gave us a second chance.

309
00:30:35,591 --> 00:30:38,131
You're only married to Adama
because Yero died.

310
00:30:38,424 --> 00:30:40,215
Adama did his Muslim duty.

311
00:30:40,841 --> 00:30:42,048
You call that a chance?

312
00:30:42,966 --> 00:30:43,798
Yes.

313
00:30:45,174 --> 00:30:46,590
How can you say that?

314
00:30:47,257 --> 00:30:48,798
Don't you have a heart?

315
00:30:52,841 --> 00:30:55,840
I didn't want to marry Yero.
I had no choice.

316
00:30:59,049 --> 00:31:02,506
I consoled myself
with being under the same roof as Adama

317
00:31:03,132 --> 00:31:04,965
and spending time with him.

318
00:31:06,174 --> 00:31:07,590
I don't understand.

319
00:31:08,841 --> 00:31:12,090
Despite my marriage to Yero,
we were always in love.

320
00:31:12,382 --> 00:31:14,298
Quiet! I don't want to know.

321
00:31:15,091 --> 00:31:17,631
So I was relieved when Yero died.

322
00:31:18,174 --> 00:31:21,006
Adama and I
could be together at last, no hiding.

323
00:31:26,257 --> 00:31:27,506
You are mad!

324
00:31:33,341 --> 00:31:35,631
You cannot go against your destiny.

325
00:31:45,216 --> 00:31:48,256
Your mama went away

326
00:31:50,132 --> 00:31:53,090
To pick a tamarind for you

327
00:31:55,091 --> 00:31:58,090
She ate it on the way back

328
00:32:39,924 --> 00:32:43,423
I couldn't come to the houses.
I had to sit with the baby.

329
00:32:46,716 --> 00:32:48,381
Sweet of you to mind her.

330
00:32:48,966 --> 00:32:50,465
They gave me no choice.

331
00:32:51,049 --> 00:32:52,798
Is it coming on well?

332
00:32:53,674 --> 00:32:56,006
I've dug almost halfway down.

333
00:32:56,341 --> 00:32:58,256
I even got a look inside.

334
00:32:58,549 --> 00:33:00,006
Tell me what it's like.

335
00:33:00,466 --> 00:33:03,048
I immediately knew
where we'd have our bedroom.

336
00:33:03,341 --> 00:33:05,881
It's absolutely immense.

337
00:33:06,841 --> 00:33:07,965
In the daytime,

338
00:33:08,257 --> 00:33:10,756
the sunshine enters the house.

339
00:33:11,632 --> 00:33:15,256
It is so vast and bright
that everything seems peaceful.

340
00:33:15,466 --> 00:33:16,381
We'll be happy there.

341
00:33:16,674 --> 00:33:17,548
Good evening.

342
00:33:18,216 --> 00:33:19,256
Evening.

343
00:33:20,174 --> 00:33:21,215
Where've you been?

344
00:33:21,507 --> 00:33:23,715
Meeting with the village elders.

345
00:33:24,091 --> 00:33:26,048
Four cows have died of the heat.

346
00:33:27,841 --> 00:33:28,965
I didn't know.

347
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:32,631
They all remarked on
your absence at prayers.

348
00:33:33,174 --> 00:33:34,756
It was the first time

349
00:33:35,632 --> 00:33:37,881
the village held prayers with no chief.

350
00:33:39,132 --> 00:33:41,715
If you'd been there, as I asked,

351
00:33:42,132 --> 00:33:45,298
God would have accepted our prayers
and the rains would have come.

352
00:33:52,674 --> 00:33:54,506
Perhaps I should have gone.

353
00:33:55,716 --> 00:33:58,006
Any man in the village can be chief.

354
00:33:58,299 --> 00:34:01,923
It's not about your bloodline.
You've made your choice.

355
00:34:08,674 --> 00:34:11,006
There is nothing anymore in the fields.

356
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:17,881
We should maybe move the herd
to other pastures.

357
00:34:18,382 --> 00:34:22,423
No, those pastures are too far.

358
00:34:22,841 --> 00:34:26,215
It will be too difficult
to take them there.

359
00:34:26,632 --> 00:34:29,465
Where I take my cattle,
there's nothing either.

360
00:34:31,382 --> 00:34:34,131
So if our pastures are all bare,

361
00:34:34,966 --> 00:34:38,256
and the rain doesn't come,

362
00:34:39,341 --> 00:34:42,340
it means we have to leave.

363
00:34:42,632 --> 00:34:43,756
And go where?

364
00:34:44,049 --> 00:34:45,215
Somewhere else.

365
00:35:05,091 --> 00:35:06,215
I'm tired.

366
00:35:59,507 --> 00:36:00,548
Adama?

367
00:36:28,549 --> 00:36:30,631
I had no choice but to kill it,

368
00:36:31,257 --> 00:36:32,756
if only for the meat.

369
00:36:33,841 --> 00:36:35,423
It was a very fragile cow.

370
00:36:36,007 --> 00:36:37,881
With this sun beating down,

371
00:36:38,716 --> 00:36:39,881
and no rain still,

372
00:36:40,757 --> 00:36:42,131
it got weaker by the day.

373
00:36:42,882 --> 00:36:44,131
It was inevitable.

374
00:36:45,257 --> 00:36:46,298
God is great.

375
00:36:57,882 --> 00:37:00,048
Why this sudden change in the weather?

376
00:37:00,299 --> 00:37:01,631
Because people change.

377
00:37:16,632 --> 00:37:17,506
Why go?

378
00:37:23,049 --> 00:37:25,756
Our cattle must drink at night
or they'll die.

379
00:37:26,049 --> 00:37:26,631
And me?

380
00:37:27,549 --> 00:37:28,673
I need you, too.

381
00:37:29,424 --> 00:37:30,548
It's not the same.

382
00:37:31,507 --> 00:37:34,256
Who'll dig
if I have to stay here cooking,

383
00:37:34,549 --> 00:37:36,381
doing laundry and babysitting,

384
00:37:36,674 --> 00:37:38,798
while you're herding day and night?

385
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,048
Don't worry about the houses.

386
00:37:41,757 --> 00:37:43,506
I'll dig as soon as I get time.

387
00:37:44,257 --> 00:37:46,173
Now, the cattle are the priority.

388
00:38:35,257 --> 00:38:36,881
I don't hear them anymore.

389
00:38:38,632 --> 00:38:39,840
They have disappeared.

390
00:38:42,466 --> 00:38:44,423
"Banel! Banel!"

391
00:38:45,632 --> 00:38:49,215
they would implore,
in voices so sweet and sad.

392
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:04,131
It's strange, mama.

393
00:39:04,424 --> 00:39:05,631
I am free.

394
00:42:26,882 --> 00:42:27,756
Thanks.

395
00:42:34,424 --> 00:42:35,548
Not for me. Go!

396
00:42:43,757 --> 00:42:44,631
Thanks.

397
00:42:55,882 --> 00:42:56,798
It's good.

398
00:42:59,382 --> 00:43:02,506
You can tell Téné to serve the food.

399
00:43:03,507 --> 00:43:04,423
Without Adama?

400
00:43:06,341 --> 00:43:08,131
Who knows when he'll be home.

401
00:43:08,382 --> 00:43:10,340
Maybe he'll stay with the herd.

402
00:43:11,591 --> 00:43:12,506
Again?

403
00:43:12,799 --> 00:43:14,048
We've lost half.

404
00:43:14,716 --> 00:43:16,048
We can't lose the others.

405
00:43:17,632 --> 00:43:20,256
Sit, my child. I want to talk to you.

406
00:43:28,632 --> 00:43:31,673
It's almost a year
since you and Adama married.

407
00:43:31,966 --> 00:43:33,965
And you're not yet pregnant.

408
00:43:34,257 --> 00:43:35,256
So what?

409
00:43:35,549 --> 00:43:37,048
Perhaps you're sick.

410
00:43:37,341 --> 00:43:38,548
No, I'm fine.

411
00:43:39,091 --> 00:43:40,631
So why no child?

412
00:43:41,257 --> 00:43:42,923
Adama is all I need.

413
00:43:43,882 --> 00:43:46,006
Adama must have a male heir

414
00:43:46,257 --> 00:43:48,548
to maintain the lineage
of village chief.

415
00:43:48,841 --> 00:43:51,381
He refused to be chief.
The lineage is broken.

416
00:43:52,007 --> 00:43:54,673
Because you put ideas into his head

417
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:56,340
with those accursed houses.

418
00:43:56,632 --> 00:43:58,215
We had the idea together.

419
00:44:00,591 --> 00:44:01,756
You are a woman.

420
00:44:02,257 --> 00:44:03,298
Yes, so what?

421
00:44:04,299 --> 00:44:07,173
It's your duty
to give your husband children.

422
00:44:07,466 --> 00:44:08,131
No.

423
00:44:11,007 --> 00:44:12,256
Soon,

424
00:44:12,632 --> 00:44:15,423
if you're childless,
Adama will take a second wife.

425
00:44:15,799 --> 00:44:16,923
No, never!

426
00:44:20,382 --> 00:44:22,215
Only God knows the future.

427
00:44:22,507 --> 00:44:23,798
We know nothing.

428
00:44:28,507 --> 00:44:32,840
It's getting critical.
There are no more fish in the river.

429
00:44:33,466 --> 00:44:37,006
At market, no more oil or milk.

430
00:44:38,882 --> 00:44:42,090
The warm wind
brings all these misfortunes.

431
00:44:44,382 --> 00:44:46,506
What worries me is the lack of rain.

432
00:44:47,757 --> 00:44:49,923
These things don't happen by chance.

433
00:45:21,591 --> 00:45:22,298
Hello.

434
00:45:23,507 --> 00:45:24,506
Are you okay?

435
00:45:24,799 --> 00:45:25,631
Yes.

436
00:45:58,174 --> 00:45:59,840
What are you doing here?

437
00:46:00,174 --> 00:46:01,256
Write someplace else!

438
00:46:04,424 --> 00:46:05,506
Go on, beat it!

439
00:46:06,507 --> 00:46:08,673
Malik, come work next to me.

440
00:47:35,632 --> 00:47:36,756
I'm going to bed.

441
00:47:37,049 --> 00:47:38,631
It's weeks since you last dug.

442
00:47:39,549 --> 00:47:42,548
You changed your mind
about the houses? Is that it?

443
00:47:43,966 --> 00:47:46,298
I have no time.
I'm busy with the cattle.

444
00:47:47,382 --> 00:47:48,506
So I'll go dig.

445
00:47:49,424 --> 00:47:52,423
I don't want you to dig in this heat.
It's dangerous.

446
00:47:52,924 --> 00:47:54,006
The sand is scorching.

447
00:47:54,674 --> 00:47:56,298
When the rains come, I'll dig.

448
00:47:56,757 --> 00:47:58,173
But there's a drought.

449
00:47:58,466 --> 00:48:00,881
It might rain in one month or one year.

450
00:48:02,757 --> 00:48:03,840
Then we'll wait.

451
00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:07,631
You promised me.

452
00:48:11,466 --> 00:48:12,298
I know.

453
00:48:53,382 --> 00:48:55,131
Djibril, come quickly!

454
00:48:55,757 --> 00:48:57,215
Bring your knife!

455
00:49:03,549 --> 00:49:04,965
What's going on?

456
00:49:05,257 --> 00:49:07,381
All the cows have died, except one.

457
00:49:33,966 --> 00:49:34,923
Banel!

458
00:49:37,549 --> 00:49:39,506
Chop it up before the meat spoils.

459
00:50:48,757 --> 00:50:49,673
Get up.

460
00:54:42,049 --> 00:54:44,381
Travel safely, my son.

461
00:56:40,966 --> 00:56:42,048
It's raining.

462
00:56:43,757 --> 00:56:44,298
It's raining!

463
00:56:48,966 --> 00:56:49,715
Adama!

464
00:56:51,257 --> 00:56:51,965
What?

465
00:56:52,507 --> 00:56:54,131
Get up, it's raining!

466
00:57:53,841 --> 00:57:56,006
We ask God to welcome him.

467
00:57:56,757 --> 00:57:58,881
May God bless him.

468
00:57:59,757 --> 00:58:01,340
Let us recite

469
00:58:01,841 --> 00:58:04,923
the surahs Al-Fatihah and Al-Ikhlas.

470
00:58:37,382 --> 00:58:40,256
Follow me.
We must pray for another deceased.

471
00:59:19,716 --> 00:59:23,548
We must show patience
and not buckle in the face of hardship.

472
00:59:24,424 --> 00:59:25,756
Allah is testing us

473
00:59:26,341 --> 00:59:28,756
to take us back onto the right path.

474
01:02:09,132 --> 01:02:10,215
You killed him.

475
01:02:39,674 --> 01:02:40,673
Banel!

476
01:02:52,591 --> 01:02:54,298
You're mad, going out in this sun.

477
01:03:04,424 --> 01:03:05,381
What's wrong?

478
01:03:05,674 --> 01:03:07,631
Nothing. Why isn't mama here?

479
01:03:08,549 --> 01:03:10,215
She went to the Wanes' at dawn.

480
01:03:10,507 --> 01:03:11,631
Their grandfather died.

481
01:03:12,299 --> 01:03:13,256
I didn't know.

482
01:03:15,257 --> 01:03:17,215
That makes four this week.

483
01:03:18,466 --> 01:03:19,506
It's a warning.

484
01:03:21,841 --> 01:03:23,756
So let's pray to God for rain.

485
01:03:24,049 --> 01:03:26,965
Nobody else will die,
and we can start digging again.

486
01:03:28,049 --> 01:03:29,631
- Banel?
- Yes?

487
01:03:33,674 --> 01:03:35,131
Give up, please.

488
01:03:36,257 --> 01:03:37,798
You can't live in those houses.

489
01:03:39,674 --> 01:03:41,465
Look around you. It's all linked:

490
01:03:42,591 --> 01:03:43,506
the dead,

491
01:03:43,799 --> 01:03:44,673
the drought,

492
01:03:45,424 --> 01:03:47,215
those houses, you and Adama.

493
01:03:48,049 --> 01:03:49,298
That's nonsense.

494
01:03:49,591 --> 01:03:51,256
I told you, I won't give up.

495
01:03:51,924 --> 01:03:53,423
- Why?
- I cannot.

496
01:03:54,174 --> 01:03:56,256
- Why not? Explain.
- Banel and Adama.

497
01:03:58,257 --> 01:04:01,548
All you can say is Adama,
as if he were your prophet.

498
01:04:01,841 --> 01:04:03,215
You always were jealous.

499
01:04:04,091 --> 01:04:06,756
- Jealous of what?
- Him, me. Of us!

500
01:04:07,674 --> 01:04:09,340
Nothing can make me jealous.

501
01:04:10,632 --> 01:04:11,756
Banel, look at you.

502
01:04:12,382 --> 01:04:15,256
I feel sorry for you.
Not a single friend, nobody.

503
01:04:16,132 --> 01:04:18,923
When you're not with Adama, you're lost.

504
01:04:19,257 --> 01:04:21,131
- Without him, you're nothing.
- Shut up!

505
01:04:23,466 --> 01:04:24,298
You've changed.

506
01:04:24,757 --> 01:04:25,965
And you haven't?

507
01:04:29,257 --> 01:04:31,756
As my twin, you should be on my side.

508
01:04:33,841 --> 01:04:34,715
No.

509
01:04:35,007 --> 01:04:37,423
And I thank God for giving me reason.

510
01:05:00,674 --> 01:05:01,715
What's going on?

511
01:05:14,257 --> 01:05:15,131
Dig!

512
01:05:24,549 --> 01:05:25,423
Dig!

513
01:05:27,799 --> 01:05:28,923
What's wrong with you?

514
01:05:32,257 --> 01:05:33,006
Are you okay?

515
01:05:33,757 --> 01:05:34,756
Just dig!

516
01:05:40,799 --> 01:05:42,256
Quit staring at me! Dig!

517
01:05:45,257 --> 01:05:47,381
You're a coward, not a man! Dig!

518
01:06:43,091 --> 01:06:46,048
You promised to dig
to the very last grain of sand,

519
01:06:46,674 --> 01:06:48,465
even if it cost you both hands.

520
01:06:51,424 --> 01:06:53,131
But we're still stuck here.

521
01:06:57,924 --> 01:06:59,631
I can't breathe in this house.

522
01:07:00,841 --> 01:07:02,631
I can't live like them.

523
01:07:05,299 --> 01:07:06,298
I can't.

524
01:07:11,591 --> 01:07:13,048
I don't want children.

525
01:07:15,299 --> 01:07:16,173
I don't.

526
01:07:19,257 --> 01:07:21,756
If you knew what I did for you, for us.

527
01:07:24,632 --> 01:07:27,465
So that we could be together.

528
01:07:32,424 --> 01:07:33,631
What did you do?

529
01:07:43,341 --> 01:07:45,965
Fate gave us a second chance.

530
01:07:46,257 --> 01:07:48,048
We won't get another.

531
01:07:51,257 --> 01:07:52,381
The drought...

532
01:07:53,882 --> 01:07:54,756
the dead...

533
01:07:56,007 --> 01:07:59,923
men leaving the village
because there is nothing for them here...

534
01:08:01,132 --> 01:08:03,131
It may be a question of lineage.

535
01:08:04,007 --> 01:08:07,006
What if it's all
because I refused to be chief?

536
01:08:07,299 --> 01:08:08,256
No.

537
01:08:08,549 --> 01:08:11,965
You must first think of me and us,
and our houses.

538
01:08:12,757 --> 01:08:14,673
Let them get by, we don't care.

539
01:08:15,466 --> 01:08:16,298
No.

540
01:08:17,424 --> 01:08:18,465
I care.

541
01:08:22,799 --> 01:08:23,673
I need you.

542
01:08:24,341 --> 01:08:26,756
- Without you...
- We should have run far away.

543
01:08:29,424 --> 01:08:30,506
When you told me

544
01:08:31,424 --> 01:08:34,631
your father planned
for you to marry Yero,

545
01:08:35,382 --> 01:08:37,423
I wanted us to go. Remember?

546
01:08:38,841 --> 01:08:40,131
Forget all that.

547
01:08:40,799 --> 01:08:42,548
Just remember, Banel and Adama.

548
01:08:43,174 --> 01:08:44,423
You haven't forgotten?

549
01:08:47,757 --> 01:08:48,798
I've forgotten.

550
01:08:50,549 --> 01:08:52,381
You haven't. Say it...

551
01:08:52,674 --> 01:08:53,840
Banel and Adama.

552
01:10:32,632 --> 01:10:33,548
Banel?

553
01:11:27,716 --> 01:11:28,965
Your own niece...

554
01:11:31,132 --> 01:11:32,298
Yero's daughter.

555
01:11:35,799 --> 01:11:37,298
I warned you, didn't I?

556
01:12:49,174 --> 01:12:50,215
Adama.

557
01:12:51,924 --> 01:12:53,381
You made the right decision.

558
01:12:55,757 --> 01:12:56,840
Goodnight.

559
01:13:00,257 --> 01:13:01,256
Goodnight.

560
01:13:03,591 --> 01:13:05,131
I'm proud of you, my son.

561
01:13:51,507 --> 01:13:52,548
I'm sorry.

562
01:14:04,341 --> 01:14:05,381
I'm scared.

563
01:14:40,757 --> 01:14:42,006
I'm scared, too.

564
01:16:51,507 --> 01:16:54,381
Banel, what are you doing?
Come help us!

565
01:20:47,882 --> 01:20:48,840
Banel!

566
01:20:52,174 --> 01:20:53,131
Banel!

567
01:21:37,091 --> 01:21:38,631
Back when we were kings,

568
01:21:41,632 --> 01:21:43,090
masters of ourselves,

569
01:21:45,174 --> 01:21:46,715
masters of the world,

570
01:21:48,507 --> 01:21:49,631
free.

571
01:21:59,466 --> 01:22:01,006
Today, who are we?

572
01:22:04,674 --> 01:22:05,631
Flesh.

573
01:22:07,049 --> 01:22:08,006
Blood.

574
01:22:09,257 --> 01:22:10,381
Evil.

575
01:22:12,674 --> 01:22:14,298
Always the same evil.

576
01:22:19,341 --> 01:22:21,048
And before my eyes

577
01:22:22,591 --> 01:22:24,215
the world falls apart.

578
01:22:36,924 --> 01:22:42,840
The End.

579
01:23:33,549 --> 01:23:36,465
This was the story of
