Lili and the Baobab

France Romane Bohringer

A thirtyish, unmarried French woman goes to a sister village in West Africa to take some photographs and finds herself emotionally intertwined with one of the women living there. She ends up supporting this outcast and her illegitimate child.

Very slight story. Much screen time devoted to connecting shots. This had the flavor of an idea that was only partly developed. Not enough backstory to give us a sense of who these people really were and why we should care about them.

No cigar.
