Excellent Drama

Magou Seck plays Mossane, a beautiful fourteen year-old girl living in a village where tradition forces girls to obey the will of their parents. She is betrothed to much older man living in France. He has been sending money to Senegal as a dowry and although Mossane has fallen in love with a young man of her village, she has no choice as the village celebrates with a party with gifts from her suitor. This is a simple story but done so well that it transport you into the magic of great filmmaking. I loved this movie.

An African tale

Like a lot of African movies I saw, Mossane is about everyday life: the village, the role of the uncle, the duty of the daughter, the parents' will, friendship... Small events turn to be of great importance. All kinds of feelings are expressed, all kinds of emotions get into the public. It is about life, but it seems to be beyond life.
