Synopsis:

Aminta Ngom is crazy. She knows it, is not ashamed of it. She took her suffering before in the streets of Dakar, she endures it today between the walls of the family yard, she tells it in front of the camera. Behind but also in front of the camera, Khady Sylla, the director, says and films the pain. Their pain in each, not in an illusory sharing, but posed, exposed during their talkative or mute exchanges, side by side, like the fragments of this broken mirror that we glimpse and of which the director speaks. Portrait, self-portrait: who? Illness, urban wanderings, madness, two women, Aminta Ngom and Khady Sylla, from a ghost Africa? It is on these questions that the window of the film opens wide.
