Two events mark this early winter at Mafrouza. The birth of a baby boy with its accompanying awaiting, tension, joy and festivities. And the marriage of a young woman. At the back of the houses, between intimate and the sacred, among whispers, cries and rites, individual destinies are drawn. Faced with the collective agitation shaking the families, sometimes with or against them, each individual finds in act how to exist and construct their place in the world surrounding them. In act as well as in word which here evokes the imaginary in order to think the real, to make it bearable and to speak of those obscure zones where life, death and sexual differentiation emerge.
