Clouds Over Conakry

2007 · 113 min

A grounded, culturally rich drama that balances romantic warmth with generational conflict, asking for patient engagement.

Overview: BB works as a political cartoonist at a liberal newspaper, his more outrageous efforts duly appreciated but not necessarily published by his boss. He's in love with the boss’ lovely, talented computer-scientist daughter, Kesso. But his choice meets with stiff opposition from his strict Muslim father Karamako, who is the chief of his village as well as imam of Conakry, especially when Kesso becomes pregnant with BB’s child.
