Mailo is my village, where I was born in 1975. I'm Christian, my father is Muslim. Today, I no longer recognize my village, which is divided by religious tensions, with a tarred road as a dividing line: Muslims on one side, Christians on the other. One night in 2009, I received a call from a cousin: "Bawa, get up and pray, your village is in danger of exploding!" The two "camps" were about to clash. So, to get people talking about living together, I returned to the village with a project: to build my house on the Muslim side.

A Masterpiece!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
