A family's quest for self-determination mirrors a nation's struggle for self-reliance in Idrissa Ouédraogo's sensitively observed feature debut. The film follows an impoverished family as they leave behind a life in the city reliant on Western aid to start anew in the more verdant countryside, quietly capturing the rhythms of everyday life as well as its devastating tragedies and intimate joys.
