Set in one location and segmented across three meals over the course of a day, Three Meals is a mother and daughter drama, charting the chasm between them, despite their intimate connection, and navigates towards a resolution that could save their relationship. DÉDÉ (ANCESTOR) delves into diasporic female identity through an exploration of the director’s Bété ancestry, a tribe in central Ivory Coast. The film is a journey into the region’s feminine cosmology and folkloric traditions, guided by feminine icons such as tribal fertility carvings, masks, sculptures, mythological fables and deities. |
