Greetings again from the darkness. Sometimes as parents, despite our best intentions, we create unnecessarily difficult challenges for our children to pursue their dreams. In the case of Seyna's father, his pride is what threatens her next step.
Seyna (played by Grace Seri) is a student who has just earned high marks for her diploma and is now ready to study politics at the next level. To be accepted, she must present her father's French residency card. Their family are immigrants from Cameroon and are forever burdened with two nationalities ... and sometimes two is the same as none.
Augustin Ruhabura plays the proud father who is forever frustrated that he is "not French enough". Seyna sneakiness and overcoming yet another obstacle prove how committed to her cause that she is. Sacrificing and fighting for one's dreams sometimes requires the swallowing of pride. Writer/director Josza Anjembe does a nice job of capturing this in this 24 minute directorial debut.
