Synopsis

A Comorian village. Djibril spends his free time taking care of an abandoned villa. While living there, his small straw hut is ravaged by a fire. Homeless, he now must find a place to live.

Director

“When I was a teenager I experimented to create some short documentaries in a workshop video
in Dunkirk. Then, I was a student in INSAS: a movie school in Brussel. I was licenced as a movie director in 2004. In 2008, I directed my first fiction short cut Ylang Ylang Residence in Great Comoro island ( first Comorian movie in 35mm). Actually, I am working on my documentary project ‘Ashes of Dreams’ which is located in the whole Comoros Archipelago. I am editing it now.”

This is a beautiful film. It demonsrates how one's friends become one's family; how neighbours and friends take care of each other. Even when those who have much abadon even their own family, others sacrificially give to take care of those in need. This film is full of hope.
