Teka Films in collaboration with Goethe-Institut Ouagadougou, presents BURKINABE. The project is a collaboration between production, cast and crew from South African and Burkina Faso respectively. The film is a description of African youth battling with the tension between our rural roots and our urban realities.


"YOUR BODY MAY LEAVE HOME, BUT NEVER YOUR SPIRIT."

Mariam, returns to Burkina Faso after having left as a young child who was adopted and sent out of the country to South Africa, where she always felt alien. She returns as an ailing young adult to the land of her birth on a journey of self discovery, to spend her last days in the land of her forefathers. She does not know the language, culture, or norms. She is on a quest to reconnect with her family and her roots. While trying to figure out how to get to her native village, she encounters and befriends a charismatic bike messenger/taxi driver, Moussa, who volunteers to take her South, claiming good knowledge of the country and the exact place of her village. A city slicker bike messenger, Moussa, is living a fast paced life in the city. His life is lonely as the debt is building up and he is estranged from his family living in a remote village. Outwardly Moussa seems in control, hiding behind his charm, charisma and style. Moussa grows increasingly paranoid in Ouagadougou as his debts mount up. He needs to get out. Moussa and Mariam take to the open road on a journey of self discovery.
