Mati Diop : 2019
Atlantique
Along the Atlantic coast, a soon-to-be-inaugurated futuristic tower looms over a suburb of Dakar. Ada, 17, is in love with Souleiman, a young construction worker. But she has been promised to another man. One night, Souleiman and his co-workers, without pay for months, decide to leave the country by sea, in hope of a better future. Several days later, a fire ruins Ada's wedding and a mysterious fever starts to spread. Little does Ada know that Souleiman has returned. Mati Diop's feature, her directorial debut, was winner of the Grand Prix when it premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2019.
