“Since time immemorial, we have assessed the skills of Sub-Saharan men. Their abilities lie in four areas: primping, talking, copulating, and procreating.”
This is an excerpt from the acerbic writing of Léonora Miano, a writer of Cameroonian origin, and author of Et que mon règne arrive, which, as its title suggests, is devoted to the place of women in the societies of Sub-Saharan Africa. The work is structured around a loose plot that sees a young feminist fall for an unlikely fop. Playing with the codes of romance, director Odile Sankara makes use of this pamphleteering text which neither spares men not Eurocentric feminism alike. A well-paced comedy that fuses radicalism and romance.
