Fatuma kee Asya. Etiopia Qafarih sayyoh nammayih mano

The film follows the daily life of two young Afar girls, Fatuma (10) and Asya (13), in two different areas of the Afar region in Ethiopia. It’s dawn in the small camp of Walgé. Fatuma wakes up in the morning and begins her usual homework as young girl of a family of nomad herders. She cleans, herds the goats, goes to the well with her father, but she has a worry on her mind: how to avoid the mandatory, traditional marriage and marry the boy she met some time ago, without breaking the tradition. The elders will discuss it, it’s a sensitive subject. Far from Walgé, in Angaliile, a large camp along the Awash river, Asya wakes up in her large tent. She is waiting with impatience for her marriage, but she suffers from the close presence of the Somali Issa, who steal the camp’s livestock with the complicity of the federal police. Will a solution be found?
