The Department of European Studies at San Diego State University presents its 6th annual French and Francophone Film Festival.
Lili et le baobab (2006)
Lili and the Baobab
Lili (Romane Bohringer), a French photographer, accepts an assignment to the remote village of Agnam, in the Senegalese desert. It is the first time she's set foot in Africa. The photos she takes protect her from facing the questions she is asked about her life as a single woman. She hardly notices that Aminata, an unmarried and lonely woman of her age, lays the foundations of an improbable and powerful friendship. When Lili returns to Normandy, she has a hard time resuming her past life. She often visits Moussa, an immigrant worker from Agnam. Moussa tells Lili that Aminata has given birth to a son. Because the child is fatherless, they will probably be chased away from the village. Lili manages to alter local customs and help her friend find her own path in the process.
