mise à jour par Thierno DIA, 14 Jan 2023

The difficulty Joffi faces in her first pregnancy is made worse by the petulant and selfish demands of her irate and uncompromising husband, Ekema. His laissez-faire attitude is profoundly challenged when he awakes one morning to find the world a very different place to the one he went to sleep in the night before.

Pregnant Joffi has a bullying husband who takes her, and pretty much everything else, for granted. His attitude is challenged when he awakes one morning to find a very different world from the one he fell asleep to the night before. A quirky, poignant, and pertinent look at gender roles.
