Als der Wind den Sand berührte

An extraordinary film that deserves much wider viewing. Watch it without knowing anything about what happens. It took my breath away, and it reminded me that when I pour a glass of tap water and drink it I am amazingly lucky. I found it funny that one person has slated it on the grounds that it was made by a 'middle-aged woman' (horror!) and contains poor 'French-speaking Africans'. Hilarious! As a middle-aged woman whose father was from Africa, yep, there are over ninety million French-speaking Africans, and some of them are poor. Anyway. This phenomenally talented film director and her wonderful creative team deserve every single one of these stars.
