Talia’s Journey (Le Voyage de Talia)

Talia, a 19-year-old Afro-Belgian woman with Senegalese roots, visits Senegal, her ancestral country for the first time. She starts off in Dakar, in the luxurious villa of her cousin’s family, hoping to meet her grandmother. But her grandmother is nowhere to be found and the villa quickly becomes a “golden prison” until she meets Malika, a mysterious bird street seller.
