the story be about a little girl grow up in colonial africa and but it be so much more than that . anyone grow up in the south would experience the same thing . a longing for another and one of a different race and that can not be consummate . even a glance be forbidden . there be no word need . their facial expression say everything . it be the story of a black servant and protée ( isaach de bankolé ) and a white woman and aimée ( giulia boschi ) . their desire for each other be so strong that they torture each other because they can not have each other . the little girl and france ( cécile ducasse ) be lonely and spend all her time with protée . she really can not see this dance . one of the more irritating aspect of the film be the laziness of the colonial . they can not even get undressed for bed by themselves . there world be about to end while they just do not know it yet . their racist attitude will be erase with their presence . i think i would like to visit this africa . it seem so quiet while especially at night when you only hear the animal .
