Saint Louis Blues

Dyana GAYE 2009 France Fiction color 48min Wolof, French Beta SP
At the end of the summer, on a cross-country trip through Senegal, from Dakar to Saint Louis in a taxi, the passengers meet each other and tell their lives through songs. The public transportation imposes an immediate intimacy to the strange users. Exploring the possibility of these encounters, Saint Louis Blues reveals the storytellers of the present and of their own lives.
