Synopsis

A desert journey

Fabrizio Maltese undertakes a physical and symbolic journey to meet Abderrahmane Sissako at the Mauritanian director’s invitation. The idea is to continue to make the film, Visage(s) d’Afrique, that Sissako Pol Cruchten had initiated together before the latter’s untimely death. But Sissako proves elusive, and Maltese allows himself to get lost in the desert with nothing more than a few scribbled notes jotted down on the piece of paper that was given to him by the two filmmakers.
