The Messenger of God
Director: Amina Abdoulaye Mamni

26 minutes
The messenger of God is chosen at random and subjected to funeral rites. Fatima, twelve years old, is left at a market, wearing an explosive belt that will detonate in ten minutes to kill the enemies of Allah. For nine minutes, she takes an inner journey during which she passes from the present to the past. Fatima remembers that her mother sells in this market.
