Two films telling the stories of women from the Cape Verde Islands.
Many men have left the islands to search for their luck elsewhere. Women, the old and children stay behind. In the first film we encounter women in the countryside, mothers and their daughters, getting to know their views and expectations of life. In the other film we meet the blind waterseller Balila and accompany her on her daily rounds.
Research, directing, camera work and editing Tamara Wyss; each 45 mins., WDR and others
Both: Award “Film of the Month”
