Suivre la marée

In Dakar, Senegal, a group of thirteen fishermen set out to sea in a large wooden pirogue. Lulled by the constant swell of a sea that is increasingly deplete of fish, they will cast their nets for seven days without ever seeing land. Confined to this nautical space where time seems to have stopped, the fishermen's hard routine was caught by the filmmaker's attentive eye. Despite their teasing and deep thoughts on religion, work and politics, we can feel the deep bond that exists between them, a bond that has been woven through the years. (La Distributrice de films)
