A village surrounded by desert in Senegal. A life imbued with traditions and superstitions suffocates Banele. She is madly in love with her husband Adam and plans to move out together - like Romeo and Juliet to escape from the constraints and demands of their families. Is the drought ravaging the village because Adama refuses to become a community leader? Banel, consumed by rebellion and passion, doesn't care that the world is falling apart before her eyes. A magical and highly visual story about the desire to break free and resist the forces or elements that block your way. N-7 Film in Pulaar with Lithuanian subtitles. In Pulaar with Lithuanian subtitles. Onward: To Senegal is a four-film program co-curated by Onward with director Ramata-Toulay Sy, including Sy's directorial debut. The characters in Banelė ir Adama, Touki bouki and Atlantės yearn to change the current situation, looking for freedom from the circumstances that restrict them. They are stopped by the ocean, by invisible forces, or by the demands of tradition. These are stories about young people and their hopes. And Mati Diop's film "A Thousand Suns" reflects life and the state when those hopes and expectations fade in the course of time or are faced with insurmountable challenges. Combining realistic and magical depictions, the films reveal different sides of Senegal and allow you to feel the deep experiences of its inhabitants. Program "Skalvija" - May 3-4.
