This politically and stylistically adventurous film explores the links between feminism, economics and tradition in modern-day Africa. The film creates a rich tapestry of the textures and rhythms of village life as well as pointing out wryly ironic comparisons between the eonomic and sexual stratagems adopted by African women in a patriarcal society.
