Blue Bird

Directed by Gust Van den Berghe

With Bafiokadie Potey, Tene Potey, Ayekem Narisse, Dodji N’Dah and N’Tcha Emmanuel Sansamou

One morning, Bafiokadié and his sister Téné, two African children, leave their village. The only thing on their mind is to find their lost blue bird before the day is over. But they will find much more along their way: they encounter their deceased grand-parents, they fight the soul of the forest and learn from the chief of pleasure. Everyone tells them a story about life and death. At the end of their long journey, the brother and sister enter the Kingdom of the Future and meet some yet-to-be born children. Delighted with this discovery, they eventually return home.
