Atlantiques (S)
2009 · Documentary · 20 min. · France
In Mati Diop's first short film, a boy from Dakar tells his two friends the story of his sea voyage as a stowaway. Not only he but everyone around him seems to be obsessed by the idea of trying to cross the sea. His words reverberate like a melancholy poem. A story about boys who are constantly travelling: between past, present and future, between life and death, history and myth.
