2023-10-15 The film reveals Diouana's interiority in the rawest way through the rich use of her voiceover and actively offers the audience access to her interworld. Brought from Senegal to south France in hopes of a better life, Diouana finds her dream crumbling into pieces as she experiences domestic imprisonment, spending her life only between the kitchen and her bedroom. “Why am I here?” She asked herself twice, each time more heart-breaking. A cook, a nursery maid, a washerwoman, a slave? As an illiterate person, her inner dialogues are incredibly poetic, powerful, and rich in emotions, almost giving the film a texture of a visual poem or a novel.
