YoungOusmane begs in the heart of Dakar. High-spirited and cheeky, he roams the city, meeting the policeman or the old carter, wandering between bustling crossroads and deserted wastelands.
Dyana Gaye’s documentary camera leads us into abrief but powerful tale, where the world of childhood questions the world of poverty. And during his daylong trek, Ousmane comes up with quite an original way of circulating money… In this premier film, it seems as if Ousmane was taking advantage of the situation to connect with the patriarchal figure of Sembene !
