“An insightful and existential parable about self-discovery in the face of mortality. In a village outside Dakar, Satché (actor, musician, and poet Saul Williams) discovers that today marks the final day of his life. From dawn until dusk, he traverses the Senegalese streets, observing the landmarks of his past with fresh eyes and bidding farewell to those around him—his first love, his friends, children, and wife. Gomis crafts a poignant and contemplative drama, offering a beautiful, compassionate tale that captures the variously joyous and tragic moments of a man’s concluding hours on Earth.”—Adeline Monzier, series curator
