A political fable that recalls the initiatory journey of a son and the pursuit of his father, a journey between dark and light, a tale of generational conflict threaded into a tapestry of mythology. In his interwoven world of spirituality, land and consciousness, Cissé manages to dissolve Western boundaries of inner and outer humanity, past and present, borrowing instead the circular form of the oral tale in a language that is utterly his own.
