Seydou Cissé (Mali)
In a small village in central Mali nowadays. Baillo, 11, is a "garibou".
Placed in a Koranic school since his early childhood, he begs every day, which is paid to a marabout, the Moualim, who reigns terror over all of his students. To escape the violence of his daily life, Baillo has only one refuge: his imagination. But when his brother Sékou, barely 6 years old, is in turn entrusted to the Moualim, nothing can divert him from the unbearable reality of their condition….
