Lingui, The Sacred Bonds
Mahamat-Saleh Haroun / TD, FR, DE, BE, 2021 / 87 min.
15-year-old Maria becomes pregnant and decides to go all out for an abortion, with help from her mother, Amina. Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s seventh fiction feature is a subtle ode to the hidden solidarity of women’s networks in a strongly Islamic, strictly patriarchal society.
N’Djamena, Chad. Thirty-year-old single mother Amina works day and night to make ends meet. When one day her daughter, 15-year-old Maria, stops going to school and starts behaving peevishly, it turns out that the girl is pregnant. What to do?
