Ousmane Sembene explore ici l’hypocrisie humaine dont les valeurs sont plus que discutables, où l’on incrimine la victime pour la bienséance des personnes influentes. 
en plus la mise en scene fait un peu documentaire, qui facilite davantage l’immersion dans le récit avec des dialogues très marquants.

“The family is also the legal assertion that a baby, a neonatal human, is the creation of the familial romantic dyad; and that this act of authorship in turn generates, for the authors, property rights in “their” progeny—parenthood—but also quasi-exclusive accountability for the child’s life.
The near-total dependence of the young person on these guardians is portrayed not as the harsh lottery that it patently is, but rather as “natural,” not in need of social mitigation, and, furthermore, beautiful for all concerned."

Griot
New things are only born from the things which decompose.

Communities governed by facades of hypocrisy. Forked tongues. Lies. And we lie most of all to ourselves. Believe blindly. Affirm enigmatically.

We have a beautiful world and this is what we've done with it. Twisted it into something ugly and wicked, unfair and cruel.

To paraphrase Tracy Chapman, we need to start all over and make a new beginning.
