Flaure B.B. Kabore

Seydou et Moussa, deux jeunes sénégalais de 16 ans, décident de quitter leur terre natale pour rejoindre l’Europe. Mais sur leur chemin les rêves et les espoirs d’une vie meilleure sont très vite anéantis par les dangers de ce périple. Leur seule arme dans cette odyssée restera leur humanité.

Inspired by real life events, Madame Luna tells the story of an Eritrean refugee who is washed ashore in Libya and survives to become one of the most notorious human smugglers, with deep ties to the Italian Mafia. Now trapped in Italy and forced to experience the brutalising reality endured by the people she has exploited in the past, Madame Luna must try to find a way out before she is recognized and brought to justice. In the process she forms a powerful bond with a younger version of herself.
