Theater am Olgaeck; Africa Film Festival - My Son, the Soldier
A moving anti-war drama about forced recruitment, colonialism and the victims of the First World War: a Senegalese father fights for the survival of his son
Description
Senegal, 1917: When 17-year-old Thierno is forcibly recruited by the French army, his father Bakary Diallo volunteers for military service. Together they are shipped off to Europe - to a war that is not theirs. While Bakary does everything he can to protect his son, Thierno increasingly comes under the influence of the French lieutenant Chambreau. Step by step, he begins to grow estranged from his father - until the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict.
A haunting drama about colonialism, fatherhood and the destructive power of war.
