Three Strong Women

Forty-year-old Norah leaves Paris, her family and her career as a lawyer to
visit her father in Dakar. It is an uncomfortable reunion - she is asked to
use her skills as a lawyer to get her brother out of prison - and ultimately
the trip endangers her marriage and her relationship with her own daughter,
and drives her to the very edge of madness.

Fanta, on the other hand, leaves Dakar to follow her husband Rudy to rural
France. And it is through Rudy's bitter and guilt-ridden perspective that we
see Fanta stagnate with boredom in this alien, narrow environment.

Khady is forced into exile from Senegal because of poverty, because her
husband is dead, because she is lonely and in despair. With other illegal
immigrants, she embarks on a journey which takes her nowhere, but from which
she will never return.
