Baamum Nafi Le père de Nafi
blanc
In a small town in northern Senegal, two
brothers are at odds with each other. Tierno,
an imam by trade, a friendly and moderate
traditionalist, does not share the ideas of his
older brother, Ousmane, who is jealous and
ambitious and wants to take over the village
with the help of a radical and dangerous
emir. Their children, Nafi, Tierno’s daughter,
and Tokara, Ousmane’s son, love each other
and plan to marry. Tierno is opposed to this.
Two opposing conceptions of Islam against a
backdrop of generational conflict and social and
political change.
