Synopsis:

Even the Wind (1999)
"Even the Wind... is a love story that takes place one fine morning in a yellow and black Dakar taxi. 'Even the wind going by is something I see,' says the taxi driver. As with this phrase, it's the gap between cultures ultimately at one with each other that gives rise to this story." (Même le vent...)

Baobab (2000)
"It all started with a dream: 'Find the griot who'll bring you to me, and when you recognize me, circle around me three times, caress me with buttermilk and let me know what you want.' And this is how, caught up in the spirit of the baobab, I set out to make a road movie between fiction and documentary, mythology and current events."

The Unshod Man (2003)
The Unshod Man explores a mystical link between Judaic and West African traditions, depicting the romantic tension between a Senegalese band leader, played by Cheikh Lo, and his widowed Israeli sister-in-law.
