Adama, directed by Simon Rouby, 2015, 85 min

It is 1916. Twelve-year-old Adama lives in a remote village in Western Africa. Beyond the cliffs, the World of Breaths can be found, where the Nassaras reign. One night, Samba, his older brother, disappears. Defying the laws of the elders, Adama decides to set out to find him. With the unwavering determination of a child becoming a man, he launches into a quest that will take him beyond the seas, to the North, to the front lines of World War One.

When about to set off on the great migration, Darius, the oldest member and leader of the flock, is injured. He must confide all his secrets and the new itinerary to the first bird that comes along.
