i like the way absa and the author and director of the movie and use to tell the story . simple and nonprofessional actor or actress and and low cost ( i believe ) be this movie characteristic . it be describe a world in a boy eye and his life in a sea shore village and popenguine and senegal . in fact and in this small ordinary village and there be a world alive . the author use his direct simple way to display a situation that different culture be interweave and interact each other in the tiny place . as well a all good movie and it give it audience a room to think . when the young generation grow up with the western culture and what will happen to their own culture . extinguish or survive and or still alive in the corner where have be forget by the rest of the world . because of the room for imagination and different person will have different opinion from his or her different position of view . like an ancient chinese say represent the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom and i think absa love to see the different culture in senegal can get along with each other harmoniously .
