In her debut feature film, the first by a woman from Burkina Faso, Fanta Régina Narco crafts a satirical and remarkably funny look at the capacity for forgiveness despite years of abuse. After a decade of genocidal civil war, two factions attempt a truce one evening. “Narco has a fine eye for intimate drama and for finding the universal in the particular” (Variety). 2004, Burkina Faso/France, color, 35mm, in French/Mooré/Dioula with English subtitles, 100 minutes.
