Directed by Dalarou (Damouré Zika, Lam Dia, Jean Rouch)
Another collaboration with Damouré Zika and Lam Ibrahim Dia, this picaresque story follows three poultry sellers on a trip across the bush, attempting to deliver a load of chickens to a market in Niamey. Based on Dia’s own experience as a poultry seller, and meant to depict the lives of marginal Africans, the film’s whimsical, absurdist plot is driven by uniquely African references, including the influence of magic.
Cast: D. Zika, L. Dia, Tallou Mouzourane.
35mm, color, 90 min.
