Ouagadougou. Darkness fell on the city several hours ago. Ramata, Mariam and Eugénie are bent over the ground, untiringly sweeping the dust which inevitably swirls back. Through the words with which they speak of their professional and family lives, these three women reveal the struggle to get rid of, with the same energy, the city’s dust and the poverty of their homes. A documentary on the role and place of African women today. The majority are still illiterate and yet they are the cornerstones of economic activity in numerous countries of the continent.
